Ground Up

2026 · 1 season

A gentle, wry local comedy about civic pride and big money, easy to dip into and full of dry small-town charm.

Overview: Tasmania has finally been given the green light to field a team in the AFL - but there's a catch. The locals have to build a new stadium, and not everyone thinks the 1.13 billion dollar taxpayer spend is the greatest idea.
How it feels: Satirical, light, whimsical and earnest. Measured and easy to follow.
About: Politics, class, sport, work
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
