Deadloch is an Australian black comedy crime mystery television series that premiered on Amazon Prime Video on 2 June 2023.
[1] 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.
[4] Deadloch was written by McCartney and McLennan along with Kim Wilson, Christian White, Anchuli Felicia King, Kirsty Fisher, and Madelaine Sami.
The website's consensus reads: "An irreverent twist on the crime procedural, Deadloch's addictive mixture of mystery and mordant humor makes most of its corpse-strewn competition look comparably stiff.
"[11] 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.
"[12] 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.
