Beneath the peaceful facade of Canberra, there is a secret city of deals and divided loyalties, lies and opportunism. Political journalist Harriet Dunkley thinks she knows the city, but as she forces her way closer to the truth she discovers a conspiracy. The subterfuge that she finds threatens her career and life, in addition to endangering the freedom of all Australians. The drama series is based on novels by Chris Uhlmann and Steve Lewis.

tucker s @tucker83014 Aug 15 Absolutely outstanding series. I don't know why the ratings aren't in the high 90s See more Polina G @RT84082298 05/12/2024 Great show! Very good writing and acting. Keeps you at the edge of your seat till the last minute. See more David B A @RT25449522 03/30/2024 This is a high-quality show. I say that because it does not try to feed on the drug of exaggerated action. By the second episode I was engrossed in the storyline. It builds gradually and portrays a complex set of relationships and of course, secrets. The engagement in the story line felt more organic for me than some other shows. I will compare it to another show with a female lead character: Madam Secretary. I feel Madam Secretary is somewhat superior to Secret City because the characters are more richly developed. The family life of the various characters, and the more subtle relationships even between Madam Secretary and the Chinese ambassador were portrayed. Secret City does paint most of the characters as monochromatic, although there are human subtleties and mixed feelings portrayed as well. All that said, Secret City has a lot to offer. As others said, it is a shame it was cancelled after two seasons. See more Ittay1 S @Ittay11 10/21/2023 Personally, I prefer Australian cinema when it's about real Australians and not the ones trying to behave like Scandinavian / Noir ones. This attempt at "Ausi-Noir" is dramatically shallow and plot is sometimes pathetic, but if you aren't too picky it's still a reasonably enjoyable watch.

Hari, the journalist, was annoying at times while always being a great actress. If you like political intrigue, you will definitely like Secret City. See more 05/19/2019 Very good series on all aspects I could think to review, timely subject matter as well, and as always it's a joy to see Anna Torv act. See more Read all reviews
