SANDO (Acorn TV Original, Exclusive North American Premiere, Trailer)

Akin to an Aussie Arrested Development, this new Australian family comedy stars award-winning actress Sacha Horler (The Kettering Incident, The Letdown, Home and Away, No Activity) as Victoria 'Sando' Sandringham, a charismatic loose cannon CEO and public face of a popular discount furniture store chain, as she tries to reconnect with her estranged family in order to win back her beloved company, Sando's Warehouse. She's built her empire on being a down-to-earth larrikin and is something of a national treasure - to all but her family. They banished her a decade ago after her one-night-stand (and resulting pregnancy) with her daughter's fiancé was shockingly revealed - at the wedding! Now, after a health scare, her career on a precipice and her professional nemesis, Tony (Rob Carlton) primed to push her into the abyss, Sando is determined to rekindle the family relationship. She needs them, and in spite of their initial apprehension... and unbridled hatred... soon they'll discover they might actually need her too. (6 EPS)
