Boy, it's hot here in Melbourne. Not as hot as it has been in Perth, I bet, but this is the kind of weather that makes you almost want to skip streaming for a while. Almost. For those with an effective Air Con. and can still sit on the sofa and stream without feeling like you're in a sauna, here's what's been happening on Stan in the past week.

Television:

Trigger Point has been described as "derivative", "addictive" (not in a good way), and my favourite, "Line of Bomb Duty", but it looks like a lot of fun to be honest.

Also fun, but full of backstabbing intrigue is the new season of the now "Damien Lewis"-lite Billions.

A new season of the absolute terrifying and irresponsible 60 Days In is also here.

Movies, Documentaries:

The utterly imaginative 9 leads this week's recommendations, that also includes perennial streaming favourite Melancholia, one of Lars von Trier's milder efforts.

I always get Crazy, Stupid, Love. confused with the "The 40-Year-Old Virgin", but that would suggest I'm confusing Ryan Gosling with Paul Rudd, and that I'm secretly going insane.

And finally, the true-crime documentary series The Billionaire Scoundrel had me hooked the moment it mentions a Texan that likes cricket. That he turned out to be a crook seems to somehow make perfect sense.
