Deadloch (2023– )
10/10
The best Aussie TV show since Rake
8 July 2023
Warning: Spoilers
This show was such a surprise revelation.

Such funny situations, such funny dialogue ("stop being such an emotional truffle-pig", "your paddock-to-pussy chef mate should have thought about that before she started cutting blokes' tongues out"), such a great range of characters satirising all layers of society, but particularly the pretentious amongst us.

I understand that detective Eddie Redcliffe was a polarising figure who turned a lot of people off (and she was SO mouth-droppingly offensive in the early episodes), but she also had a lot of the funniest lines. It was a bit of a relief when the wind was taken from her sails mid-series.

Congratulations to all the Kates (I'm including Kate Box here) for this wonderful show.

I note Amazon have dubbed it into a dozen other languages so it might garner a worldwide audience. It sounds amazing in Japanese, though I wonder how well the humour translates.
