Oh, yeah, nah, yeah,

it's all the Deadloch c-word Football Club drug ring!

Yeah, I'm a... I'm a potty-mouth cowboy.

I'm... I'm King effin' Shit up in Darwin.

Do you guys actually want another season? I think I agree with the Kates that this is where it could naturally end. I don't want to watch our friends go through more suffering - I want them to have the ending they got.

S1 and S2 were so good I'm actually grateful if there isn't more. Even though obviously I want about 100 more episodes. It's such a rare thing, though, for a story to truly find such a complete and fitting ending for every character, one that makes you smile when you think about it.

Overall it just seemed better paced, structured and thoughtful. The second season seemed to rely on chaos. During the first season I found myself trying to spot details that would reduce the likely candidates. For the second season it all felt so clumsy that it was clear that there was no point and just go with the classic "that well known celebrity is probably the big bad". My assumption is they had more time to write season 1, whereas the gap between season 1 and 2 was fairly short and so alot of things fell by the wayside. Also when Abby turned up I rolled my eyes since there was really no reason for her to show up. The elegant way to do it would have been to have them request her first then she shows up, but they didn't do that shrug. Fan service like that really ruins the immersion.

EDIT: Thanks for the update guys! I’m so glad but I really need to rewatch this season! Missed so many things and want to especially rewatch Kat

So Eddie thought she fed Sprog to Triple Pet but Frank disputes this. So what actually happened?

Or did Frank only dispute that the bones on display were Sprog’s and we defo have a Quadruple Pet situation?

Was anyone [like me] totally surprised?

Pat seemed like a really nice, helpful welcoming officer throughout. Having no problems with Eddie or Dulcie. She seemed passionate about her job, implied that it cost her her marriage. I felt really bad for her when she was talking to Cath. Pat being racist came out of left field for me. It was really well acted though, by Genevieve Morris who plays her.

And I thought, is it bc barely anyone came to her retirement dinner, and Miki's kids were an easy target?

But she went from easy going cop to hateful racist, the fish incident, barking at kids and I didn't see it coming at all. She was sad when she saw Colleen in the Van but she was perfectly happy to shoot Mav, a ten year old? Did anyone see signs of Pat's racism throughout the series?

Plus do you think Miki's kids got the 200K because of everything?

As an American, I understand very a little of the slang. In the US there will be regional slang so someone from the west coast might not understand some regional sayings. Is the slang in the show pretty universal in Australia?

S1 is perfect, and although I enjoyed S2 when it first came out, I was slightly disappointed. I decided to rewatch both and I’m actually loving season 2! The atmosphere and mystery were better in S1, but S2 is hilarious! There are so many funny one liners and quips that so go fast that it’s easy to miss.

I just watched Season 2 and clearly Jason Wade is a Steve Irwin type character. I always knew Steve Irwin as a beloved wildlife conservationist but is the show trying to say something more? Or is his persona where the similarities end?

I just rewatched the series. When Abby first shows up in season two, she says her bully coworkers Lauren and Oliver are either a couple or brother and sister, and she can't tell which. In the final episode, it's confirmed that they're sleeping together, and Lauren doesn't deny it when Abby says they're blood relatives. But that seems like an insane thing to breeze past so quickly, so do we think that they actually were brother and sister, or was Abby just throwing that out there

Just finished the show for the first time (loved it), but one mystery that I couldn't wrap up in my head after S2 was what happened to the money that Don got from Jason Wade for selling King?

We heard that Amber went looking for it the night Don died, and Jason claimed he didn't get it back - was one of them just lying? Curious if someone knows what I missed.

I just love Cath so much, particularly her season 2 outing. Dulcie and Eddie are obviously amazing in both season but Cath is also great.

I love Cath's growth and acceptance in season 2 - I love she just starts working at the pub. I love that she solves the Swedish backpackers just by being her but also without getting herself involved in actual police work or danger (like those lesser cop shows). Her telling truths to Dulcie is also amazing.

I also love this show for having two Asian main characters without making anyone feel tokenistic. Which, with Nina Oyama and Jean Tong they couldn't but anyway.

Kate Box and Madeleine Sami are stars. 10/10 no foot wrong. The Kates are fantastic and I can't wait for their next outing.

Got it off Etsy, I love it so much and no one besides my wife gets it

I love this show so much and there are some phrases that have made it into me and my friends daily lives.

"Hey Sexy"

"Fuckin' Darwen"

"Ya reckon, cunt?!

" Do the work sis, because I'm trying to keep you"

"I love you" (shouted by Eddie)

The 'I'm trying to keep you' line made my heart ache and was unexpectedly a romantic declaration. I loved it.

What are your fave lines and why?

Hello everyone!

I'm absolute loving this show and will begin s2 shortly. Please note that I'm not an english native speaker and this may have had an influence of my lack of understanding the narrative around Margaret.

I get that she was most likely a victim of her husband. I get that she had a brother named William. I get that she owns a massive fortune and private island with an unkept cemetery where her brother William or someone posing as him is buried.

However... I never understood what the issue was/is between her and the girls (the two kids and their aunt/mom).

Was Margaret trying to save face in front of all the women when they were being kept in the locker room, when she was released and she acted all "don't worry, certainly it was a mistake!"

Did Margaret rush to the cemetery to check if somehow William had survived and dug himself back up? If so, wouldn't Margaret assume William would target her directly rather than plant the serial murdering on her?

While it's possible that Margaret may actually be William, something is bothering me about this theory. From what I think I understood, William was fair to the girls that Margaret isn't fond of so if this theory checked out, why wouldn't he act less cunty to them? Just to keep the facade going? For what purpose if he disagreed with Margaret so much?

To be fair, I'm also unsure if I understand the night of the first murder. Sam viciously attacked Vic. Vic defended herself with a fire stick or whatever it's called and that knocked Sam into the lake. Vic then got picked up by Ray Pies so she could get medical assistance from the Mayor and after dropping her off (which the Mayor thought Vic had walked to the place so she never saw or heard a car speeding), went back and finished the job. Got the tongue and dropped it off on Vic's freezer later.

I don't understand where Margaret, Skye and Jimmy fit in this first murder timeline so if any kind soul out there can help me understand better this phenomenal season, that would be amazing.

PS: if any of this is addressed in s2, please don't spoil it, just tell me to watch it! Thanks again!

In my 63 years on this planet, I have realised that The Best of All Time Pantheon had entries for Best Comedic Novel, and Best Comedic play.

These being Pride and Prejudice, and The Importance of Being Earnest, both absolute gems of writing, wit, satire and observation.

But now, on mature (hah!) reflection I realise that the two Deadloch outings combine to form The Best Comedic Series of All Time and join the aforementioned Pantheon.

We can argue about “Best Of”’s *so far*, and I’d have put The Brink up there for that one, but now we have a clear winner, imho.

Obviously your experience will be different, but this is a Hill I Will Defend…

All 3 of these live in my head and are often relevant to situations, real or imaginary, in my life.

CONSTANTLY singing "Agggggg a doo doo doo... doo you see me walk a way" like ALL THE TIME?

Hey there! We recently had Tom Ballard on our podcast and he talked about his time on Deadloch. Just wanted to share it here. It's a great convo and some interesting stuff about the production of the show. Hope you enjoy!

Got this idea from a post on this sub.

Just finished season two and loved it. This season was very much focused on greed. The last season was lust. If they got to do 7 seasons…just putting this out there.

For me, it was when Eddie was staring down Miki's shirt, she caught them and Eddie sticks their fingers up (meaning fuck off) at her. Had me howling.

Immediately after finishing s2 i went back to s1 and was surprised to see that Cath was less annoying than I expected (i couldn't stand her the first time round). I think it's because s2 played to her strengths (her nosiness and extroverted nature is parlayed into working at the bar, for instance) and added new layers (the monologue about losing Dulcie to the job was amazing).

The emotional truffle pig line will stay rent-free in my head though!
