Netflix's new eight-part series The Airport Chaplain stars Hugo Weaving as Tobias Wallace, a real-life-inspired airport chaplain who inserts himself into virtually every crisis at his airport, from lost luggage to domestic violence and grief counselling. Reviewer Michael Sun praises the pacy, "moreish" show, co-created by Elise McCredie and Jude Troy, for being thoroughly bingeable, though notes its narrative structure feels somewhat scattered across episodes.

Tobias's do-gooding instincts clash with new terminal manager Mira Ansari-Cole, played by The Pitt's Shabana Azeez, who is sceptical of his unconventional, report-averse approach to the role, setting up a management-versus-employee dynamic that runs through the series. A recurring mystery involving a silent, passport-less young woman found in a prayer room provides a connecting thread across episodes, while the airport setting itself, much like the hospital in The Pitt, allows a rotating cast of strangers and situations to drive the drama. The show launches globally on Netflix, with Australian viewers able to watch via SBS and SBS on Demand; only the first four of eight episodes were available for review.
