This is a story about a pair of detectives forced to work together in a small Australian village where a body has been found.
As expected, the two are very different and sparks soon fly.
A lot of the humour here is based around crassness and foul language.
This is the lowest of all forms of wit, but when done correctly (like here) it is very funny.
Katie Box (Dulcie) is excellent as the straight woman to Madeleine Sami's (Eddie) no-holds barred detective off the rails.
I have never heard the word cart used so frequently and to such great effect as here.
I am sorry but there is just something funny about seeing a detective scream and shout absentees at a witness whilst trying to retrieve their flip-flop from a puddle.
There is a great array of characters and if you are into your inclusivity quoters then this has it all - the characters are all fleshed out and serve a purpose and it never flet like a box ticking exercise.
The mystery and the action is all very well written and handled - this is just pure good fun.
The only criticism I have is near the end a little more restraint was needed.
To do a gender equality bit the men start to act really silly, like Monty Python silly.
The fun here is watching Eddie rail against a close approximation to real-life, when everyone else starts to act overboard it gets too zany.
Suddenly some of the characters become a bit preachy too - we can see that X person is racist you don't need the character to actually say it for us.
I highly recommend this.
