Critic Reviews

The overall package is something else: mean, mordant and murderously amusing entertainment, whipped up with a devil’s grin.

While it’s Eddie and Dulcie that command the storyline, a menagerie of brilliantly written and acted townsfolk and lower-ranking police round out the picture beautifully.

Two seasons in, I remain unsure whether the show might be better without her [Eddie], or whether she makes up a big part of its gloriously bedevilled, wonky spirit. Either way, here’s hoping for a third.

This is one croc-and-bull story that’s funny, at times silly, but also decidedly worthwhile.

The second season of Deadloch continues to be a darkly funny series with a fun pair of mismatched detectives who strangely work very well together.

Piquant, and bewildering. Further delights await.

Deadloch is a show that doesn’t make fun of murder, but has a lot of fun with the people investigating the murders, along with everyone who might be a suspect, and does so in a pretty entertaining way.
