K M @Secularhellhound1 Jul 20 An Australian dark comedy and murder mystery. I have watched it 4 times. I constantly plan my trip to Tasmania after watching it. I love the sleuthing and authentic, complex queer and Aboriginal representation. The dynamic between fastidious local Senior Sergeant Dulcie Collins and brash Darwin investigator Eddie Redcliffe is hilarious. One on my top 3 favourite shows of all time.

You’re wrapped in a cozy blend of fun personalities with a PERFECTLY blended puzzle that keeps you swiveling until the end. At first the co-lead actress is too much, but by episode 3 the writers get her figured out. See more A M @RT88186777 Jun 9 A must see, the whole concept at first looks a little questionable. Both seasons turn out to be unique and fascinating, makes you guess the reguess the plot all the time. Love the humour , and seriousness at the same time. A truly great show See more Lou M @Zipperella Apr 15 For someone who doesn’t usually like Aussie shows, this one is a cracker! It actually feels Aussie. Great storyline too. Enjoy!! See more Andrew S @Andrewfev Apr 14 The story was interesting enough — bizarre murders hit a quirky Tasmanian coastal town during Winter Feastival. Odd-couple detectives: grounded local Dulcie Collins (Kate Box) and brash Eddie Redcliffe (Madeleine Sami). Some good performances, especially Box who anchors it well. But the show lost me with heavy-handed social messaging. Nearly all men are chauvinistic misogynistic idiots lazy stereotypes as targets. Lesbian characters are heroes, moral centres, and wise figures. This one-sided propaganda turns the mystery into preaching. What really put me off: Deadloch is a small remote country town of ~2,000, yet shown with unrealistically high lesbian population — choirs, meditation groups, queer relationships dominating. Hard to believe any real small Australian town would be like this. It strains credibility and shifts focus from the whodunnit to fantasy wish-fulfilment. See more Sharon M. @RT43607610 Apr 10 Smart, funny, and endlessly engaging. If you aren't used to the accents, closed captioning helps. Both seasons tidy up nicely, but keep you yearning for more and more. I truly hope there is another fast-paced, non-stop season. See more Read all reviews
