Deadloch

Have you ever watched a gritty murder mystery set in a small town and thought "this is great, but I wish it had more jokes and lesbians"? Then Deadloch is the show for you!

Watch on YouTube

An uptight workaholic lesbian cop is teamed up with a slap-dash chaotic female detective from the big city (of Darwin, lol) to figure out a murder in a little Tasmanian country town.

It does a great job of combining classic tropes (like the odd couple detective team) with subversions of the usual heterosexist murder mystery cliches, eg the show opens on a full frontal nude male corpse, and the town has a queer friendly arts festival happening instead of being all conservatives (though it definitely has those too).

If you have seen it and want to leave a spoilery comment here is my spoilery post.

(I am in a truly EXCESSIVE amount of pain today so hopefully this all makes sense)

Spoilery thoughts on the end of Deadloch

This is all SUPER DUPER spoilery and the show is the kind of mystery it's a lot of fun to watch unspoiled. If you have any interest in watching, do that first! This post will be waiting!

Here is my non-spoilery review.
