Comedy Is Kin: The Family Law and Diverse Television

The small-screen adaptation of Benjamin Law's much-loved memoir transforms the book's vignettes into a single-summer storyline about divorce, disputes between siblings, discovering queer identity and dealing with being a cultural Other. Gillian Terzis speaks to Law about the show's creation and his views on the underrepresentation of non-white faces on Australian television.
