Inspired by real life experiences in Australia’s juvenile justice system, Critical Incident landed on Stan on Monday.
All six episodes dropped with a backdrop of Blacktown, Sydney NSW.
When a police officer pursues a teenage suspect on to a busy train platform, a bystander is critically injured, and the lives of the pursued and pursuer are thrown into turmoil.
Starring, Akshay Khanna, Zoë Boe, Roxie Mohebbi, Hunter Page-Lochard and X Factor contestant, Jai Waetford.
With episode six, Strike ends, you wonder will Stan renew this Sydney based series for a second season? My hope is yes, as where it leaves off, there are definitely more tales out of Blacktown to come. In Strike, the Strike Force descends on Ty's (Page-Lochard) operation, Zil (Khanna) enters a hornets nest to rescue Dalia (Boe), and not everyone makes it out alive.
The finale is brutal, the show is 100% not just another cop drama. I enjoyed this Stan series a lot more than recent local drama, Exposure.
The six episodes that landed right after the Olympics concluded on Nine/Stan, were a breeze to get through.
As we head into the Logies weekend, there really is so much great Aussie content right now. Also incoming. With Last King of the Cross finally making its announcement of its return for the last Friday of August (30 August).
ABC has announced its next Sunday night drama. A spin-off based around Wollongong, Return to Paradise. That starts September 8th on iView.
While Disney+ are having another crack at a local title (following a Logie nomination for the Clearing) with Last Days of the Space Age starting early October.
But if you need a new Aussie drama right now. Critical Incident's gritty first season streams now on Stan.
