Fall Finales: Last King of the Cross - Season One

Last King of the Cross has landed during a packed time of Australian series landing. Just today another trailer for the first Disney+ Australian title, The Clearing.

Paramount+ has now screened all ten episodes inspired by the autobiography of nightclub owner John Ibrahim and his experiences in Sydney's Kings Cross.  Following John Ibrahim's journey from early poverty to later success, Lincoln Younes stars as John Ibrahim.

While Tim Roth stars as Ezra Shipman, Callan Mulvey as corrupt Detective Sergeant Brian Crellan, Claude Jabbour plays the brother, Sam Ibrahim, Aussie standard star Matt Nable is Anthony 'Big Tony' Stone with Maria Tran as Madame Tien. Man Madame Tien does not fuck around!

It's nothing really new after The Golden Mile Underbelly featuring Firass Dirani as Ibrahim.

Underbelly: The Golden Mile landed back in 2010, so for some TV viewers they may not remember the Underbelly narrated by Caroline Craig for the third outing.

Some of the acting in the Last King of the Cross was a little average compared to recent Australian TV series.

I am looking forward to the return of Five Bedrooms along with The Clearing. It's a golden age of Australian TV right now. Sadly this title isn't the best even just on Paramount+. With Spreadsheet, The Secret She Keeps, Five Bedrooms and More Than This, all great little Aussie stories. So if you haven't already, give Paramount+ a crack today!
