Fall Finales: North Shore - Season One

North Shore is yet another Australian (well mixed with some UK actors/storylines for Paramount UK) series which has just concluded on Network 10/Paramount+. I streamed it ad free on Paramount+. Personally I would prefer just to watch the 43 minutes of content not some crappy ad's for betting companies.

The six episode, first run follows the clash of cultures when British and Australian detectives team to solve a complex murder mystery, and uncover a conspiracy with international political consequences.

Starring heavyweight, John Bradley (Game of Thrones, Moonfall), Joanne Froggatt (Liar, The Commons), Kirsty Sturgess (Thirteen Lives, Young Rock), Dan Spielman (New Gold Mountain, The Code), Rob Carlton (Paper Giants, Chandon) and Matt Passmore (Frayed, The Glades).

Look this is nowhere near as strong as other Aussie dramas streaming now. Including fellow Paramount+ title, Five Bedrooms. When you weigh this up against Dead Loch, there is almost no comparsion. Also it's called North Shore, however it was mostly filmed around the CBD and surrounds. Something tells me a lot was filmed at the Star.

The basic plot goes, set on and around Sydney Harbour, North Shore follows the clash of cultures when British and Australian detectives team up to solve a complex murder mystery after the 19-year-old daughter of a UK politician is found dead.

But this international investigation will expose more than murder, as the two detectives begin to uncover a conspiracy with political consequences.

Now you do get a bit of a cliffhanger, so something tells me Channel Ten and Paramount UK were hoping for a second run.

With Riptide incoming (also on Channel Ten, also a UK/Aus production) and recent financial issues for Channel Ten reported by former employee. They deny these. I can't see a second season coming anytime soon.

So for me North Shore came at a bad time. Too many other Aussie series to compare it against. Stream it now on Ten Play via Network 10 or for those like me who got buy 6 months, get 6 months free, Paramount+.

Until next time. Enjoy the weekend y'all!
