Sydney's west looks beautifully, desperately bleak.

Best for:Solo: When you want to feel better about your own life choices.·Streaming: Late-night indie dive you've never heard of.
Heads up:Violence: Punch-ups and escalating male aggression throughout.·Drug Use: Frequent casual substance abuse as lifestyle, not plot point.
