'Hungry Ghosts Streaming on SBS On Demand With the wealth of programming these days, it’s all too easy to miss important series. Which is why free-to-air stations have set up delivery components online. This enables viewers to stream the provocative, intelligent four-part SBS supernatural drama Hungry Ghosts at their leisure. During the traditional Buddhist and Taoist Hungry Ghost festival, the gates to hell open and disgruntled spirits wander the earth. It is what happens when a burial site in Vietnam is disturbed in a sweep for unexploded ordinance, and the effects are felt among four Melbourne families with former ties to the country. Bryan Brown, Ryan Corr and Justine Clarke may be the marquee stars of the show, but the heart and soul of the series are the 30+ Asian actors who bring to life a vibrant community thrown into sudden crisis.'
