Sizzlin' Summer Streaming 23' - C*A*U*G*H*T - Season One

C*A*U*G*H*T landed on Stan, Thursday. It was maybe the easiest watch of the last few months. With eye candy galore from (often shirtless) Lincoln Younes (Last King of the Cross).

Four Aussie soldiers are deployed to the island nation of Behati Prinsloo on a secret mission. Mistaken for Americans they are captured by freedom fighters, where they soon realise the government isn’t coming to save them. Their only chance of going home is to make the greatest hostage video of all time. 

The cast alongside Younes is all-star, both locally and abroad. Kick Gurry (Edge of Tomorrow), Sean Penn (Gaslit), Matthew Fox (Lost), Bryan Brown (Palm Beach), Ben O’Toole (Detroit), Alexander England (Stan Original Series Black Snow), Mel Jarnson (Mortal Kombat), Fayssal Bazzi (Stateless) and Dorian Nkono (The Twelve). 

Australian TV has had a heap of hits this year. Deadloch, RFDS's second season, Beetoota Advocate landing a TV series as funny and smart as the website, socials. So  C*A*U*G*H*T has tough competition. But it does well. The Today show content is slightly awkward as Karl Stefanovic along with A Current Affair's Allison Langdon portions of the show being random AF.

Karl gives zero fucks with breakfast TV looking more stupid than ever.

No spoilers today, however the series really leaves the door open for a second instalment of this Aussie made all-star comedy.

With stars to appeal to a wide demographic, this could be a hit for Stan. Not just here but abroad too. With US networks needing content while the strike trickles on with the actors negotiations happening next week.

C*A*U*G*H*T is a series I can easily recommend, while saying to those who say there is nothing on Stan, check this out! For more info and a chat on TV's only decent breakfast TV series, click here.

Happy long weekend Australia!
