Where to Watch Zig and Sharko in Australia

French television has a knack for doing more with less, and Zig and Sharko is a prime example. It's currently available in Australia on Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, and in the US on Netflix and Netflix Standard with Ads, so there's no reason to keep putting it off.

Sharp writing and a well-matched ensemble are what separate Zig and Sharko from the crowd. On a desert island lives a starving hyena with one obsession: devour that delicious mermaid from the rock in the lagoon. But the lovely fish-girl’s best friend is a shark, a shark with a lot of muscle and who loves to sabotage the hyena’s every move. The series ran for 4 seasons (2010–2023), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly.

Ideal for when you want something light without wanting something stupid. Zig and Sharko respects its audience — rarer than it should be.
