TV review: Mr Inbetween has been under the radar for too long

"The story-telling and acting is so good, you feel you’re driving around Sydney with Ray and his daughter, eating ice-cream and talking about unicorns, until Ray stops off to beat up someone down a side-street who failed to show respect."

Mr Inbetween (Disney+) is like your favourite book of short stories. 30-minute episodes, a self-contained story in each one, brilliant recurring characters, fizzing with energy and surprises, and relatable. Incredibly relatable.

Which is odd because it’s about a serial killer for hire. But Ray Shoesmith is also a loving father and brother and he doesn’t kill everyone because he has a moral code.
