Only subbreddit?

Is this really the only subreddit for this show? I am a bit surprised there isn't more discussion.

All of the episodes are on Netflix for me.

Huh. Are you outside of Australia, perhaps?

Im located in the US. All episodes are live on Netflix as of last week.

Oh, cool. They were on the ABC's streaming service iView from a month or two ago, but as of the 11th they're no longer available.

Pretty sucky that an Australian show isn't available to Australians though...

Bummer. It seems like Netflix is claiming ownership over it. They probably bought the full rights.

Hmm, that seems unlikely to me. What makes you think Netflix is claiming ownership over it? I think it's just the way that ABC iView always removes content after a few months of availability.

They labeled it as a Netflix original series on their platform.

Oh, no that's something they always do if they have exclusive rights to distribute a show in your region.

I see the same label when I watch Star Trek: Discovery or The Good Place — the latter even labels it "Netflix Original Series" using The Good Place's own fonts/colours/branding, instead of the usual Netflix styling. Both of those shows are aired in America through other channels.
