Episode 4

In the picturesque yet unsettling town of Deadloch, Tasmania, mystery lurks around every corner. The once tranquil seaside hamlet is jolted awake when a local man is found dead on the beach. This marks the beginning of an enthralling narrative that unravels across eight gripping episodes in Season 1 of "Deadloch." As viewers follow the twists and turns, they are introduced to an unlikely detective duo tasked with solving these perplexing murders.

Meet Dulcie Collins, portrayed by Kate Box, who you might recognize from her roles in "Upright" and "Boy Swallows Universe." As a meticulous Senior Sergeant, Dulcie’s life gets complicated when she has to team up with Eddie Redcliffe, played by Madeleine Sami – known for her performances in "Xena: Warrior Princess" and "Our Flag Means Death."
