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.

Just watched the first two . Everyone seems to have something to hide . Even the police officer is odd , he has a half smile on his face all the time . And why did he pay someone to beat him up right at the beginning ... maybe we're going to find out something about him as well .

Blondeshavemorefun · 29/09/2023 18:30

I know @butterpuffed He's def weird. Wanting to pay for pain

I really don't know who I think killed her

Her boyfriend?

The copper ?

Boyfriends dad ?

All male

Maybe it was a female

I’m enjoying this.
Yes why is he smirking so much? Is it an attempt to be flirty? And why is the sister always so very very angry, with everybody?

longtompot · 30/09/2023 00:27

So many questions. Just watched the first three episodes and am hooked. Was about to ask questions but may be from episode three so will be quiet. Love the tooing and froing between the timelines. No idea who dunnit yet

Blondeshavemorefun · 30/09/2023 09:29

What was the 'black snow' from the harvest in Ep1?

RaraRachael · 30/09/2023 18:28

I've seen episodes 1 and 2. It was ok but I wouldn't say I'm hooked. I hope it doesn't turn out like that Aussie thing that had Jamie Dornan in it (can't even remember what it was called) - as we gave up on it.

I thought it was from where they burn the stubble after the harvest? It used to happen here a lot, not seen it for many years

And, I said I watched 3 episodes last night. That was the wine talking (it likes to exaggerate). It was only two, so watching 3 now live

longtompot · 30/09/2023 23:46

Just realised the actor who plays the dad who runs the sugar factory was the main character in 500 words!

I wondered why he was beaten up too.
And what's with the toy ?
I've only seen episodes 1&2

RaraRachael · 01/10/2023 11:07

The beating up right at the start seems to have nothing to do with the story so far. OH thinks the detective has some sort of fetish where he pays people to inflict pain on him.

lazymum99 · 01/10/2023 11:13

I think the beating up is equivalent to some sort of self harm. He gets a relief/release from it. The toy I’m not sure

Blondeshavemorefun · 01/10/2023 11:22

Toy was for his daughters birthday

There's too much focus on the driver of the car, I think it's going to be more obscure than that.

Blondeshavemorefun · 01/10/2023 18:15

Seen e3 - recap below

Has this been on before? It rings a bell or is there something similar.

I remember watching something like this in the summer.

Blondeshavemorefun · 02/10/2023 08:18

I don't know @Eddyraisins Unless been on ITVX or something like that

I've never seen or heard of it

I am thinking of Savage River. That had a time capsule in it which lead to a clue too. Also Australian.
