Excellent TV comedy set in Tasmania.

A lot of profanity and crude references. Nudity in the first few minutes.

Smart, hilarious dialogue. Lots of Aussie slang.

All 4 key police officers are played by queer actors … BUT lesbians will probably be shocked anyway. As well as entertained.

Actually, this show could offend pretty much anyone. 😀

On the upside, all the murder victims are heterosexual, white men. It’s about time.

The surviving men march to reclaim the night. That’s good comedy.

It’s a small town. The remaining straight men finally charter a bus to flee to safety.

Deadlock is a comedy/parody that skewers police procedurals, forensic scientists, small town life, arts festivals, food culture, straight life, alternative life…the list goes on.

And with all that there is a pretty reasonable murder mystery. …

I didn’t guess the killer.

The town choir was a highlight for me.

Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube. In real life, they are the Melbourne Glee Club.

If somehow a season 2 gets the green light, it will likely be set in Darwin.
