Omg, this is a good one, Season 2 out today I think. I’ll let you read the review, it’s great. You’ll laugh, you’ll cringe…

“One of the first establishing shots in the show is of garbage cans with ACAB spray painted on them, which sets up an appropriately complex frame for the main character cops out of the gate. The show begins with two Indigenous teenage girls walking down a dark road to a deserted beach with exactly the kind of foreboding cinematography and musical score you’d expect at the beginning of a crime series. It plays with the expectation, so tragically grounded in the real-life experiences of missing and murdered Indigenous women, that one of them will be the victim, but instead Tammy Hampson (Leonie Whyman) trips over the dead naked guy, drops her cigarette, and sets his pubic hair on fire. It really sets the tone for the show.”
