At the end of each week, Mike Hosking takes you through the big-ticket items and lets you know what he makes of it all. 

 

Anthony Albanese: 8/10 

Better than anyone, and I suspect even he, expected. 

 

Nigel Farage: 8/10 

Better than anyone, and I suspect even he, expected. 

 

Donald Trump: 6/10 

Between the redecorating tips, the movie move, the GDP going backwards, Mark Carney, whatever the Middle East announcement is, the deals he wants to do, the deals he doesn’t want to do, his withdrawal of another nomination, defunding of public broadcasting, his outrage over the Emmy nod for the interview he's suing over, plane loads of illegal's to Syria, Lord knows how many court cases - and that’s just this week! Have you ever seen a more omnipresent international player? 

 

Erica Stanford's email: 2/10 

The biggest time-wasting nonsense of the week. 

 

Adrian Orr's farewell: 4/10 

The saddest thing you ever heard. $6,000 for water, juice and biscuits.

The Brothers Ortiz

The Brothers Ortiz

The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
