Australian TV Just Entered Its Villain Era

On the show today…The 2022 TV Baftas were held this week, gifting us a prestigious awards show celebrating the best international and British TV shows and a glitzy red carpet. The winner’s list contains your next must-watch TV shows.And we’ve finally gotten our first look at Avatar: The Way Of Water, the first of four sequels being made in the Avatar franchise. The film brings back all the big names from the original, including Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, and Sigourney Weaver, along with new faces like Vin Diesel, Kate Winslet, and Michelle Yow. There’s a lot of excitement around the trailer, but we’ve noticed a pretty glaring problem with Sam Worthington.And the new season of Big Brother kicked off this week, bringing a number of famous faces from the franchise back into the house. But that’s not what the headlines are focused on today. Instead, it appears that Australian TV is entering a new villain era and we’re pretty sure the general public is not prepared for this.
