A sharp, nostalgic collision of family drama and historic chaos set against the backdrop of 1979 Perth.
Series Analysis:
In 1979, Perth was the center of the universe—or at least the target for falling debris. Last Days of the Space Age masterfully juggles the sweltering friction of a city on the edge, pitting the glamour of Miss Universe against the looming threat of Skylab and crippling power strikes. The Bissett and Ti families aren't just navigating cultural shifts; they are surviving the literal dark. After a finale that left relationships fractured and futures uncertain, audiences are now enduring their own blackout, waiting to see if Disney+ will authorize a return to Western Australia. To ensure you catch the signal the moment the silence breaks, setting a reminder for the next chapter is the smartest way to keep your eyes on the skies.
