| The Code |
'Ello! Tonight, Ovation wraps up its airing of the Aussie drama The Code, a TV show I haven't seen but sounds quite intriguing. "A stolen vehicle collides with a transport truck in the middle of the desert. Two Aboriginal teenagers in the car are critically injured but nobody called for help because someone involved works for a major stakeholder in a secret research project. The accident would have remained a mystery if it weren't for Ned Banks, a young internet journalist desperate for a break and his brother Jesse Banks, a hacker on a strict good behavior bond." There's a conspiracy going deep in the Australian government.
Elsewhere, Dallas and Robo time travel, the reason for E Class's segregation is revealed, women journalists on the campaign trail get the spotlight, Black Love is back, Kenneth's brothers visit the Hell Den, and Chadwick Boseman fights for justice and later, live from New York, gets his comedy on.
Missed it by that much, here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, September 5!
