  1. Loving SBS right now….The Family Law s2, picking up the US Open and now The Good Fight. Now we just need a Rockwiz announcement and they can get two thumbs up.

  2. Can’t wait! I’m really looking forward to this show and was beginning to wonder if it would ever be available for viewing on an Australian channel.
