THE END OF AN ERA
We first met Dale Jennings (Reid) and Helen Norville (Torv) in 1986 when
a fledgling Dale was desperate to be a star newsreader, and Helen was
fighting to be taken seriously as a journalist. Now Dale and Helen have
finally achieved both these long held dreams. Dale is News At Six’s
‘King of News’, fronting the show solo he has become the most beloved name in
news, a Gold Logie nominee, permanently number one in the nightly
ratings. Meanwhile Helen’s fearless international 
reporting has won her
great acclaiman and an opportunity to be the first woman to both anchor and produce her own current affairs show.
But when a cynical network move sees the two former lovers pitted in
direct competition,
their kinship will be tested as never before. Over
the course of 1989, Helen and Dale will compete to cover a cascade of
historical events, from the Exxon Valdez oil spill, to the Tiananmen
Square massacre, the boycotts of South 
Africa’s Apartheid, and the fall
of the Berlin Wall which will be covered in the last episode announcing the crumbling of Dale's and Helen's private lives as well. See the brilliant trailer below:

I haven't watched this but it sounds pretty good.
ReplyDeleteIt is unbelievably good, probably my fave series in last ten years or so, just so very compelling.
DeleteWhere can we watch it?
DeletePrevious two seasons aired on Arte in Deutschland so I imagine the final season will air there as well.
