The Hand Gardener is an Australian utopian and science fiction drama web television series created by Harold Triffington. It was ordered by the streaming service ABN as a straight-to-series order of 12 episodes, for which production began in late 2011. The plot features a utopian past set in 1987 following a lab technician, played by Adam Laddövski, wherein he develops a formula to extract human cells to create treatments for patients in a highly classified clinical trial specific to their DNA in order to get the best possible treatment so the patients body won’t reject other treatments. His motives for doing so are not yet known in the first episode, but are revealed as the series progresses.

The first four episodes of the series premiered on April 22, 2014; the subsequent eight episodes were released every Thursday. In May 2015, the series was renewed for a second season which premiered on April 25, 2016. There are 5 seasons in total; season 6 is still airing.

The Hand Gardener has received critical acclaim and its first season won three Elite Volker Awards from seven nominations, including Elite Volkner Award for Outstanding Drama Series|Outstanding Drama Series. Emma Strader was also awarded the Silver Sphere for Silver Sphere Award for Best Actress – Television Series Drama|Best Actress.

Plot
In 1987, Daniel Sullivan— portrayed by Adam Laddövski— works at the prestigious Research Laboratory of Cellular Biology and Deoxyribonucleic Acid in Melbourne, Australia. As a highly-ranking lab technician, his job is to oversee all projects his lower-ranking co-workers are conducting as well as to conduct his own single blind experiment with the help of his close friend and confidant: Evie Jennings. At first glance, Daniel Sullivan is a normal, well-liked lab technician working in the heart of Australia. Though as his seemingly cheerful façade seems to crumble as the series progresses, we later discover the clinical trial is a cover-up. The real “experiment/clinical trial” was to extract human DNA from patients and eventually create clones out of them. To an extent he has succeeded, but only by being able to clone fingernails and hands.

Season 1 (2014)
The year is 1987 in Melbourne, Australia. Daniel Sullivan is a highly decorated lab technician who is in charge of his own clinical trial alongside his confidant Evie Jennings. Sullivan has been able to extract DNA from patients and use it to clone the cells that make up fingernails and hands. Desperate to move forward with his research, he confides in his mentor Alan Palmer. Meanwhile, Evie conducts her own clinical trial dealing with stem cell research and discovers a ground-breaking treatment. She is completely oblivious to Sullivans "research" in his own clinical trial. When she questions him repeatedly about the clinical trial, Daniel shuts her out. Palmer proves to be no help in Sullivan’s investigation after Palmer tries to burn Sullivan’s research in hopes of saving the patients from the cloning experiment. In the season finale, Sullivan reveals his true plans: to clone the DNA of various patients in order to create a highly efficient group of clones to steal classified research from his boss, Dr. Rachel Brun.
