Prepare for a woolly whodunit: Hugh Jackman’s George reads detective novels to his sheep, never guessing they’re taking notes. When mystery strikes the farm, the flock flips the script—turning shaggy listeners into sharp-eyed sleuths. The suspects? Human. The investigators? Pure sheep genius. In this clever caper, never underestimate the brains beneath the fleece.
Knives Out? Bah, Shears Out. We’re about to get into the wool.
