Above the Law is an Australian crime drama television series broadcast on Network Ten from February 2000 to August 2001.
The show centred around The Metro, an apartment complex with a cafe and community police station on the ground floor, and a penthouse owned by the recently jailed criminal "Vegas" Pete Murray.
In 2020, Fiona Byrne of the Herald Sun included Above the Law in her feature about "long forgotten Australian TV dramas that made viewers switch off.
"[1] Byrne quipped "Above The Law wanted to be Melrose Place on top of a police station, but it wasn't.
"[1] She said that the network thought the show would attract the "18–39 audience" but it "missed that mark" and did not gain older viewers either.
