KGB reimagines the familiar buddy-cop formula through a distinctly Noongar lens. The title refers to the triangulated Perth suburbs Koondoola, Girrawheen and Balga, where junior detectives Jack and Nigel are thrown together against their will.

This early clip introduces audiences to their mismatched vibes, and the suspicion they've been partnered up solely because of their Aboriginal identity. Overt and subtle biases faced by First Nations people, and the stereotypes they themselves believe, are presented with wry humour. Jack's reluctance towards working with the upbeat Nigel is fertile ground for rapid-fire gags, including their eventual common ground: they both hate city slickers from Sydney.

This introduction to the world of KGB establishes it as a timely workplace comedy, anchored by culturally specific satire and a love-hate relationship with local stereotypes. Released by the ABC for NAIDOC Week in 2019, the series quickly resonated with viewers, amassing nearly 100,000 plays in its first two weeks alone.
