Before reviewing House of Games, let’s look at a little bit of TV history: when the ABC axed long-running current affairs chat show The Drum at the end of 2023, fans of hard-hitting political discussion were swiftly dealt a second blow when its replacement – repeats of the Tom Gleeson quiz show Hard Quiz – outrated it leading into the ABC news.

The opening scene of 30 Days of Lust makes it extremely clear that Freddy (Linda Blümchen) and Zeno (Simon Steinhorst) have absolutely no problems keeping each other satisfied in the bedroom.

Previous seasons of COBRA have seen him try to steer his country through a string of crises including – but not limited to – solar flares devastating the nation’s infrastructure and a cyber-attack laying waste to the country’s institutions. So a protest about a new rail tunnel? That’s hardly worth getting out of bed.
