The Australian dramedy Deadloch features a mostly female cast, investigating the murders of white heterosexual men for once.
Between Heartbreak High and Class of ’07, Australia has been churning out comedic TV shows with female-fronted casts that deal with serious issues for the past year. Amazon Prime's Deadloch takes its place among these predecessors with its exaggerated characters and a uniquely Australian tone. But more importantly, it delves into gender and racial politics, as well as the evolving attitudes towards them.
Likewise, Dulcie embodies the stereotypical detective that has a disgruntled girlfriend who is constantly annoyed about Dulcie working too much and also has misgivings about Dulcie's fidelity. Unlike traditional murder mysteries, the show even fleshes out the character of the girlfriend, Cath , giving her a caring but also self-centered personality with a delicate character arc.
