When a video of a high school teacher having sex with one of her students goes viral, the lives of all those involved are thrown into chaos.

As the campaign against her builds, Macarena is forced to live with her estranged father as she attempts to uncover the truth – a task made considerably more difficult when a body turns up at the bottom of the cliffs, leading her to becoming the prime suspect. You Shall Not Lie also stars Lucas Nabor and Natalia Verbeke.

A French Case is a thrilling suspenseful series that focuses on the events surrounding the death of little Gregory. For the past 35 years, this momentous unresolved investigation has marked a turning point in the media and judicial system in France. October 16th, 1984. Gregory, a 4-year-old boy goes missing. Hours later, he’s found dead in the Vologne River, wrists and ankles bound. For years preceding the murder of little Gregory, the family Villemin were persecuted with phone calls and letters from a mysterious person(s) named ‘The Crow’. Jealousy and envy were at the heart of these threats in a small town where everyone knows everyone, and half the town is family. Following each character individually, this series will reveal human tragedy in the small
village of Eastern France where the destinies of victims, suspects, journalists, investigators, and judges all become entangled. A French Case stars Guillaume de Tonquédec, Laurence Arné, and Guillaume Gouix.

The Family

The Family follows the last three days before the arrest of the former Serbian and Yugoslav president Slobodan Milošević. Milošević’s family and friends, trapped in their villa and with no control over the situation, start their struggle to overcome the crisis and grapple with their past. The Family is the fall of Milosevic, the Bosnian war, and the break-up of the former Yugoslavia as seen from the inside. The Family stars Boris Isakovic and Mirjana Karanovic.

One Response

  1. Anyone who has read anything about the Bosnian war will probably have some idea of the struggle and trauma ‘The Family’ will potentially present to the viewer. This show could be my pick of this SBS selection. The plots for ‘You Shall not Lie’ and ‘A French Case’ have been familiar themes for streamed drama in recent times.
