Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use British English Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox television Deadloch is an Australian crime mystery, black comedy streaming television series produced by Amazon Studios. Created by Kate McCartney and Kate McLennan, the series is set in Deadloch, a fictional town in Tasmania, and stars Kate Box, Madeleine Sami, Alicia Gardiner, and Nina Oyama. Deadloch premiered on Amazon Prime Video on 2 June 2023.

Synopsis

The beguilingly sleepy settlement of Deadloch, on Tasmania's coastline, is shaken when the body of a local man turns up dead on the beach. Two female detectives reluctantly take charge of the investigations together: the fastidious senior sergeant Dulcie Collins, and the brash and reckless detective Eddie Redcliffe from Darwin, aided by overeager constable Abby Matsuda and ditsy officer Sven Alderman. Coinciding with the town's annual "Winter Feastival" — a celebration of local arts, cuisine and culture — the suspicious death forces Dulcie and Eddie to cope with each other's drastically opposite investigation styles, as they discover secrets being hidden in a town struggling to disguise the deep rift that's slowly splitting it and the lives of its residents.

Cast and characters

Main

Recurring

Production

Development

Kate McCartney and Kate McLennan are the show runners and producers of the series. "The Kates", as they are nicknamed, were inspired to write a comedy from a set-up similar to that of the UK series Broadchurch after they both watched the series, so much so the working title of the project was Funny Broadchurch. Actress Nina Oyama told the Sydney Morning Herald: “The show is first and foremost a crime show, because of the way it’s laid out, and the way people will keep returning to it will be for the crime-based and mystery-based reasons... But it’s also very funny.” There was also an intention in the production to subvert some of the typical genre tropes, and reverse who are usually considered the victims in society. There is a sub-plot of a First Nations storyline around local teenagers played by Leonie Whyman and Kartanya Maynard.

It was written by McCartney and McLennan along with Kim Wilson, Christian White, Anchuli Felicia King, Kirsty Fisher, and Madelaine Sami. Production on the series got underway in February 2022. Directors on the series included Ben Chessell, Gracie Otto, and Beck Cole. Production is by Andy Walker for Prime Video, Guesswork Television, and OK Great Productions, with Fiona McConaghy as co-producer. McCartney, McLennan, Kevin Whyte, and Tanya Phegan were executive producers. The score was written by Amanda Brown.

Filming

Filming took place in southern Tasmania, outside Hobart, around Cygnet, Snug and Kingston.

Broadcast

The series premiered on Amazon Prime Video on 2 June 2023 with three episodes, new episodes available weekly up to 7 July 2023.

Reception

The series was received positively. Шаблон:Rotten Tomatoes prose

In a favourable response from Luke Buckmaster of The Guardian, he gave the series four out of five stars, and praised creators Kate McCartney and Kate McLennan – "They are moving into the next phase of their career, with Deadloch, a narratively richer series that’s dark and dramatic, and often also very funny." In a positive review from Pemi Bakshi of Grazia magazine said that, "the eight-part series blends humour and commentary to bring us a wickedly entertaining take on the detective show genre." In a somewhat more mixed review for website Screen Hub, Stephen A. Russell gave a rating of three stars out of five and commented that "While Deadloch’s far from dead on arrival, its enervating lack of structural ambition did kill a lot of the buzz I had going in."
