Sizzlin' Summer Streaming 23' - Strife - Season One

Binge yesterday the latest Australian comedic drama, Strife, staring Asher Keddie. Set in the world of publishing and digital media, the series is inspired by Mia Freedman’s memoir, Work, Strife, Balance.

Alongside Keddie, Strife features Matt Day, Jonathan LaPaglia, Tina Bursill, Emma Lung, Alex Dimitriades, Maria Angelico, Rhys Mitchell, Olivia Junkeer, BeBe Bettencourt, Bryony Skillington, Lucy Ansell, Darcy Tadich, Lincoln Younes and Willow Speers. Yes it's an all-star Aussie cast.

With Younes slaying in role after role in 2023!

All 8 episodes (30 minute or less) episodes landed on Binge yesterday. I don't normally do this. But I watched the entire series in 24 hours!

It is that GOOD!

Matt Day plays Keddie's husband (well ex, sort of), while Jonathan LaPaglia plays Keddie's former boss.

Emma Lung is Keddie's BF while Alex Dimitriades is her husband wanting to open the marriage.

And yes there is even a cameo from one Kylie Minogue. More interestingly the scene was filmed at the new Grounds function centre in South Eveleigh! My work precinct. HUGE!

Asher Keddie plays Evelyn, a modern, imperfect woman. Following a redundancy package from a former media empire, Eve starts her journey from lounge room blogger to creating her own site in 2012.  

All this with two kids and navigating a marriage breakdown. The way episode eight leaves us, I feel like Colin in Accounts this might be Binge's next hit comedy series.

Yes it's funny AF. Like laugh out loud funny! This is honestly up there with Deadloch. Easily one of the best series of the Sizzlin' Summer Streaming 23' series. Which will (finally) come to an end soon!

So if you are on Binge, BINGE the shit out of this right now! My favourite Asher Keddie role since Love My Way!
