Cleverman	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Cleverman is an Australian TV series co-produced with New Zealand and the United States, starring Hunter Page-Lochard, Deborah Mailman, Frances O'Connor and Iain Glen. The show was created by Ryan Griffen, who wanted to create an Aboriginal superhero for his son, and draws heavily from the mythology of the Indigenous Australians. Cleverman is broadcast simultaneously on the ABC in Australia and Sundance in the United States.In a dystopic alternate version of Australia, "Hairypeople" — strong, long-lived humanoid creatures with a connection to the Dreaming — are rounded up by the government and forced to live in squalor in an area called "the Zone" alongside the poorest and neediest humans. Koen West, an amoral bar owner in the Zone who has turned his back on his culture, is anointed the new Cleverman after the death of his Uncle Jimmy. With new supernatural abilities and the help of his brother Waruu, a community leader who expected to be the new Cleverman, Koen must face threats to his people and the political forces encroaching on the Zone.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Cleverman / int_776a06eb	type	All Myths Are True
Cleverman / int_776a06eb	comment	All Myths Are True: Waruu is versed in the Dreaming, enough that he recognizes important story related events around him. He identifies the creature that killed Uncle Jimmy by its work and its reason for showing up: "when things are out of balance". He also recognizes the story from Uncle Jimmy as an indication said uncle made his choice of who will succeed him as Cleverman. A story contained in Uncle Jimmy's journal tips Waruu off that sap from a particular tree can counter the Cleverman's Healing Factor.

Cleverman / int_853b7948	type	Ambiguously Evil
Cleverman / int_853b7948	comment	Ambiguously Evil: It's anyone's guess whether Waruu is a Well-Intentioned Extremist or a Not-So-Well-Intentioned Extremist, complicated by his horrible treatment of Koen, his Freudian Excuse, his violent and jealous tendencies, and his genuine desire to save the Zone. At the end of Season One, he sides with Slade and furiously rants at the people of the Zone when they don't accept him as their leader, but also tries to fight the Namorrodor and has a very ambiguous expression when Koen finally steps up and kills it. At the final scene of the season when they face down the CA, he's nowhere to be seen. In Season Two this gets more complicated, where on one hand we see him using his new position to try to find Nerida and Alinta as well as even preparing his luxurious new home for their return; but he also breaks an innocent man's nose to weasel out of a blood test. Later on he pours Koen a drink and tells him that they're brothers no matter what happens, right before attacking him with a knife.
