New Financial Year 2024/2025 Streaming - Troppo - Season Two

Troppo season two kicks off six months after Ted Conkaffey (Jane) and Amanda Pharrell (Chamoun) were introduced to viewers in season one.

In season one they solved their first murder case, the unlikely duo is now investigating the bizarre local murder of a healing retreat leader with connections to an exotic drug ring and a ‘bikie’ gang. 

While Amanda tangles with an old enemy and finds a new love interest (who is also sort of an enemy for the first four or so episodes), Ted’s past stalks him and his family to Crimson Lake, with deadly consequences. 

My father informed me, Troppo is based on the Crimson Lake books, a contemporary crime series set in Queensland, Australia, written by #1 New York Times best-selling author Candice Fox. 

Season Two of Troppo is inspired by the second book in the series, Redemption Point.

US actor, Thomas Jane is Ted Conkaffey, while Nicole Chamoun is partner in crime, Amanda Pharrell.


The show is very Australian, a little bit troppo, but a damn easy watch on ABC iView. Watching the first season so recently, it was a damn easy job getting stuck into the second run so quickly after binge watching the first.

I do think I enjoyed the first season a little more, however this was a good little Aussie crime romp.

ABC have served up some decent drama this year. What's next on the schedule ABC? Are we waiting for after the Olympics? Whilst Seven, Nine and Ten are delivering very little drama on free to air TV this year, the ABC have continued to excel. Well done Aunty!
