The scouts
Australian roommate-interview comedy where one applicant is mid-kidnapping plot and another loses speech from drug trials. The bar for sitcom premises has been collecting dust; somebody had to clear it.
An eight-part Australian roommate-interview anthology stitched into one piece — Quinlan's escalation-engine is the structural premise itself. Worth sampling for the deadpan and the pharmaceutical-test-subject losing speech mid-interview alone.
An eight-part Australian roommate-interview anthology compressed into 35 minutes — the increasingly outlandish candidate parade is a tight engine if the casting stays sharp. The structural bet (eight bits in one piece) is the gamble.
