What is The Last Year of Television about?

As the TV industry enters a new chapter that is 2023, it’s only entertaining to review every show that’s made an impact and even those that made us cringe this year.

And so Mitch McTaggart makes sure that programs on Australian television worth mentioning, both good and bad, others naturally controversial, are discussed for some laughs and other relatable sentiments. 

More than jokes, The Last Year of Television also offers small screen observations that are typically overlooked by the media, as well as explores everything that’s happened in local TV this year.

As Mitch takes a really good look at some of the best and worst shows on screen, this comedy special is a must-see entertainment if you really enjoy shows and other television events being critiqued to hilarious effects.
