When life and death collide in an ambulance, who says you can’t fall in love between resuscitations?
Inspired by real-life paramedics, Triple Oh! is a bold, cheeky Aussie miniseries about two very different ambulance workers, Tayls and Cate, who navigate chaotic emergencies, unresolved grief, and a surprisingly flirty workplace culture.
Across five bite-sized episodes, the series balances life-threatening situations with offbeat humor, and gradually builds an unexpected sapphic attraction between its leads.
Triple Oh! Official Trailer
Tayls and Cate are both paramedics, but they couldn’t be more different in personality. Cate is methodical and reserved, while Tayls is impulsive and uses dark humor to cope with stress. When they are paired up for shifts, sparks (and sarcasm) fly. From awkward roadside calls to bizarre medical emergencies, the two slowly start building a rapport—until Cate learns about Tayls’ personal “grief ritual”: sex as a way of processing death. What begins as disbelief soon turns into emotional curiosity.
Cate is calm under pressure, private in emotion, and skeptical of Tayls’ chaotic style. But beneath her tough surface lies a deep empathy and curiosity.
Tahlee Fereday
Tahlee Fereday is a rising Australian actress known for her roles in Fisk and Gold Diggers. In Triple Oh!, she brings a quiet depth to Cate, conveying both restraint and yearning with subtle intensity.
Tayls is sarcastic, flirtatious, and driven by instinct. Her coping mechanism for tragedy may seem unorthodox, but it reveals her hunger for connection.
Brooke Satchwell
Brooke Satchwell is a veteran of Australian TV (Neighbours, Packed to the Rafters). Here, she brings wit, bravado, and surprising vulnerability to the role.
Triple Oh! Review
Review
Story: 3.8 / 5
The premise is daring and full of promise. Real paramedic accounts inspired the central idea, which adds authenticity. While some emotional beats land, others feel undercooked due to the short runtime (5 episodes, ~10 minutes each). Still, it’s refreshing to see a queer storyline unfold in an unconventional workplace setting.
Acting: 4.2 / 5
Tahlee Fereday and Brooke Satchwell deliver strong, distinct performances. Cate’s guarded vulnerability is played with a delicate edge, while Tayls’ cheeky bravado hides real tenderness. Their dynamic is believable and enjoyable.
Chemistry: 4.4 / 5
Though we don’t get much build-up time, the moments that do land hit with sparks. The contrast in their personalities creates tension and playfulness that evolves organically.
Production: 4.0 / 5
Despite its limited budget and short runtime, the production is visually slick. Ambulance interiors, nighttime cityscapes, and brief emergency scenes are shot with efficiency and clarity.
Ending: 3.6 / 5
The finale leaves things open-ended, which is realistic but may feel abrupt. The emotional payoff is subtle but sincere.
Personal Take
I didn’t expect a show this short to feel so full. There’s a particular charm in watching two women navigate stress, grief, and banter—all from the front seat of an ambulance. The emotional core of Triple Oh! isn’t about trauma porn or overblown drama. It’s about companionship in the face of chaos, and the weird, darkly funny ways we process being human. Cate and Tayls feel real. I only wish we had more time with them.
