One of the better legal series made and a must-see for both the solid acting and intelligent writing. Best to see with subtitles so you don’t miss the many cultural references and expressions used by the Aussies. Great chemistry and mature…
I liked this DVD. Janet King, a senior crown prosecutor, returns to work after maternity leave to find her workplace even more demanding than when she left. She quickly becomes involved in a high-profile and controversial case, and makes…

I guess I expect this sort of show to either have plots that are compelling, or characters that are compelling. This is sorta meh on both.
The characters are pretty one-dimensional- any hint of complication is just window-dressing,…

Intricate plot. Crime details unravelled throughout entire season as opposed to new storyline each episode. Riveting drama; had me binge watching in order to arrive at the conclusion.

A very good legal/police drama from Australia. Only drawbacks were the length of the series (which drug on a bit too long) and the focus on same sex relationship with kids, which was nor really relevant nor necessary for the…

The series kept my attention and I stayed with it to its conclusion. Only one beef - why do so many of these suspense/legal/crime series' insist on the lead having lovers, children, or any sort of domestic responsibilities when clearly it…

So far, I have watched Series 1 and 3. Both are well written and the story lines are complex in a good way. Not complex in the sense that the viewer can't figure out "who did it," but complex in the sense that the plot unravels as it…

This is a terrific suspenseful drama with excellent acting, especially the main character played by Marta Dusseldorp. When PBS dropped the ending episode, I actually bought the dvd to see it. Now the Marin library will have 2 copies of…

I love absolutely LOVE this series! The smart scripts are full of twists, turns, and plenty of tension, without the extreme, graphic violence that standard in most series produced in the USA.
An Australian series about a state prosecutor returning to work after a maternity leave. Her first case involves a well respected police detective accused of a crime. It's an uphill battle for her as those in authority back the detective…

Terrific legal story with Marta Dusseldorp. She has been great in every Australian production that I have seen featuring her. Excellent writing - keeps you wondering until the end... Four paws and a tail up from Abby Tabby and Kristi

Superior crime drama and courtroom series from Down Under. Janet King is prosecutor and sometime detective trying to sort out who's behind a series of crimes that all seem to connect with the death of a respected investigator, who may not…
