Watching "The Code" last night, I was struck by the barren magnificence of the Australian terrain in which most of the 2014 six-part espionage thriller (Season 1; six-part Season 2 aired in 2016) is set.
As I thought about it, the superb six-part 2016 political thriller "Secret City" came to mind: it too was set in Australia.
Though not a spy thriller, "The Dry" — an excellent 2020 mystery thriller also set in Australia — takes us out back as does its equally gripping 2024 sequel, "Force of Nature: The Dry 2."
Then there's Taron Egerton's unforgettable crazed character in pursuit of the great Charlize Theron's solo hiker in the Outback in "Apex," just released on Netflix.
Note: "The Code" Season 1 is available on Prime Video; Season 2 is on YouTube
