When a local man turns up dead on the beach, two vastly different detectives are thrown together to solve the case. From the wickedly funny minds of Kate McCartney and Kate McLennan, aka The Kates, comes the eight-part crime comedy, Deadloch.

Deadloch puts a high-comedy spin on the crime genre, completely flipping it and challenging its tropes. It questions Australia’s relationship with truth, gender and race, while keeping you guessing (and laughing) at every turn. It’s a compelling mystery with the Kates’ signature comedy.

Plot

The Tasmanian town of Deadloch, a once sleepy seaside hamlet, is left reeling when a local man turns up dead on the beach. Two female detectives are thrown together to solve the case: Fastidious local senior sergeant Dulcie Collins and a rough-as-guts blow-in from Darwin, senior investigator Eddie Redcliffe along with their overeager junior constable Abby. As the town prepares to launch the annual arts, food, and culture event—Winter Feastival—the trio have to put their differences aside and work together to find the killer.
