New 6 part drama. Starts tonight

2 episodes every sat so will run for 3w

Black Snow is a tense Australian crime drama starring Travis Fimmel as a cold case detective.

Black Snow is a six-part Australian crime drama starring Travis Fimmel of Vikings fame. It follows shocking events at a high school after a ceremony to open a time capsule that was buried 20 years previously, shortly after the mysterious murder of pupil Isabelle. Inside it is a highly cryptic message written by Isabelle which leads to a reopening of her murder case and turmoil in the town...

Black Snow is set in the small Australian town of Ashford was rocked to its core when 17 year-old schoolgirl Isabel Baker was murdered back in 1994. Her killer was never found, but when a time capsule buried a few weeks before her death is opened it reveals some chilling clues about the case!

Following two timelines, one in 1994 and one in 2019, this six-part drama follows Detective James Cormack, played by Vikings star Travis Fimmel, as he tries to crack a cold case that has haunted the town for decades. "James has a lot of issues, childhood issues that he’s still dealing with, parental figures, and I think that’s the reason he became a cold-case detective," says Travis. "It’s cathartic for him to investigate the case, but it brings up lots of painful memories.

Following the two timelines of 1994 and 2019, the drama delves into Ashford’s past and brings up heartbreaking memories for Isabelle’s best friend, Chloe Walcott (Neighbours (https://www.whattowatch.com/neighbours)star Brooke Satchwell) who still lives in Ashford.
Isabel’s death was also devastating for her younger sister Hazel Baker (Jemmason Power) who believes her family were discriminated against by the police because of their heritage as South Sea Islanders.

Thanks Blondes. I always like a series set in Australia.

placemats · 23/09/2023 13:46

Thank you for the heads up @Blondeshavemorefun

I'll be giving this a go.

Ooo looks good!

Cheers, Blondes

Definitely watching this once I’ve finished The Inheritance!

placemats · 24/09/2023 12:41

Caught up this morning, was watching the rugby last night which was behind the cushion stuff. This series is not as gripping but definitely worth your time. Not sure I like any of the characters, they all have flaws, which is part of the story line. I definitely want to know how it's solved and who did it.

Halsall · 24/09/2023 14:38

I liked it. But it did remind me quite a lot of Mystery Road - another Australian thriller/detective thing that was on recently-ish, if anyone remembers that. Similar premise with a small town, a local industry, hostile police chief…..

I'll definitely keep watching this, though. I don’t know anything about the South Sea Islander community in Australia, I've just been reading up about the background.

Blondeshavemorefun · 24/09/2023 16:18

Yes I saw mystery road @Halsall Was good

This confused me with back and forth

So who do we think killed Isabel

I enjoyed it mainly because I didn't need to concentrate on sub titles and it was daylight most of the time.

daffodilandtulip · 24/09/2023 19:28

It seems the policeman knows something? (Only seen ep 1).

Blondeshavemorefun · 24/09/2023 19:29

Yes I haven't seen 2 yet

Thank you I'm going to check this out tonight blondes :)

daffodilandtulip · 24/09/2023 22:24

Caught up on ep2 now. Quite liking a bit of 90s nostalgia. It seems they all have something to hide...some kind of pact?

AnyFucker · 24/09/2023 22:28

What is tattooed on the cold case officers wrist ?

daffodilandtulip · 24/09/2023 22:33

The same date as the date the girl was killed.
