Sunny Nights, a new dark comedy thriller series, is now available to stream for free.
Accessible through the TG4 Player, the show follows an American brother (Will Forte, Bodkin) and sister (D'Arcy Carden, The Good Place) who travel to Australia hoping to build a successful spray tan business.
A momentary lapse in judgment, however, draws the siblings into the Sydney underworld.
"When the duo tries to escape by committing a tiny bit of murder, they must figure out how to stay alive, out of prison, and in the black," the plot synopsis adds.
All eight episodes of Sunny Nights were directed by Trent O'Donnell (The Good Place, New Girl, No Activity), with its cast also including Jessica De Gouw (Gretel & Hansel), Rachel House (Hunt for the Wilderpeople) and former rugby player Willie Mason.
Praised for its lead turns from Carden and Forte, its blend of comedy and thriller, and its fish-out-of-water premise, the series holds a perfect 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes.

You can read a sample of some of the positive reviews for the show below:
Common Sense Media: "Casting old-pro comics like Will Forte and D'Arcy Carden in this oddball crime drama is either a curveball or a stroke of genius, because audiences come for laughs but stay for the bizarro mayhem."
Film-Authority.com: "Sunny Nights is funny, audacious, bloody, rude and edgy, a refreshingly dark new crime and comedy drama that makes for a compelling watch."
Pajiba: "It’s all good, dark fun, and the cast is uniformly excellent. Forte is in his element. Carden could power an entire city with her energy."
RogerEbert.com: "This dark, brutal, and devilishly funny crime caper [often] leaves us unsure of whether to cringe in horror or laugh. It’s usually a bit of both."
Sunny Nights is streaming for free in Ireland on the TG4 Player right now. Check out the show's trailer below:
