Obama-produced series romanticises crypto fraudsters

Plus, a Robodebt drama, a sobering docuseries about a death in the outback and the first estate-authorised retelling of heavyweight champion Muhammed Ali hits TV this month.

Welcome to what to watch, where we take you through what's on the box in November.

A side-splitting office comedy that tears into the podcasting world hits this month, while Muhummad Ali's career is given the biopic treatment.

Plus, crypto scammers Sam Bankman-Fried and Caroline Ellison are put under the microscope, and Robodebt reminders loom in a shattering miniseries.

What's it about? This directorial debut from Darren Dale, producer and co-director of Blackfella Films (Total Control, Mabo, Redfern Now), is not an easy watch, but it is immensely important that you don't look away.

The four-part documentary series is an expansive chronicle of the shooting death of 19-year-old Kumanjayi Walker at the hands of then-Northern Territory police officer Zachary Rolfe. The 2.6 seconds in the title refers to the amount of time between the first and second shots Rolfe fired at Walker during the fatal arrest. That minuscule time frame was at the centre of the ensuing murder trial and coronial inquiry into the death.

Dale is thorough in his depiction of the context prior to the shooting, the incident itself and the devastating aftermath through dozens of interviews with elders of the Yuendumu community, police officials and social workers who personally knew and cared for Walker.
