Australian TV experience

I was briefly watching an award-winning documentary on Australian cinematography during the 70s and 80s but it was so vulgar I had to switch it off. This seems to confirm the opinion I'm coming to establish on Australian viewer sensibility based on their crime series I've seen: bloodthirsty, primitive. Instead on analyzing why it's done they concentrate on how, and do so excessively. I mean I couldn't watch or listen to the gory details and kept switching off. And I thought Australia was about Picnic at Hanging Rock and Priscilla Queen of the Desert. Live and learn.
