The Secret Saturdays has been quietly earning a loyal audience, and right now it's all available in Australia on HBO Max. Sam Lerner leads a cast that brings something genuine to every episode.

Originally commissioned by Cartoon Network, The Secret Saturdays quickly became exactly the kind of show that viewers rearrange their evenings for. The Saturdays, a family of cryptozoologists, work to keep the truth about cryptids from getting out, in order to protect both the human race and the creatures themselves. They travel the world searching for cryptids to study and battling twisted villains like the megalomaniac V.V. Argost. The series ran for 3 seasons (2008–2010), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly.

If you need a comedy that actually makes you laugh rather than just smile politely, The Secret Saturdays is a strong candidate — fans of Chip 'n' Dale: Park Life will recognise the sensibility immediately. It works alone or with company.
