To add onto what Hanrahan said, it's also one of our state-funded broadcasters (along with Special Broadcasting Service, which has a lot of non-English and international content like films and news) so it's a lot less commercialised. There are plenty of good shows started there and it's sometimes a lot closer to indie content.

It was one of the original commissioners of Bluey.

I highly recommend trying to find episodes of You Can't Ask That (even if you have to torrent it), and if you like mockumentaries like The Office, I recommend Utopia (not to be confused with other shows elsewhere called Utopia), many clips are on YouTube to sample.
