Set in a near-future Australia, this series imagines mythical beings called Hairies emerging into the human world, sparking fear, segregation, and violent crackdowns. At its center is a reluctant man drawn into the ancient role of the Cleverman, a bridge between human and supernatural worlds.

It's moody, slow-building, and more interested in social tension than action, carried by strong performances and a genuinely distinctive premise you won't find elsewhere on TV.
