The first series of this warm hearted Aussie detective show saw Retired cop Jack Darby and English Nurse Joan Kirkhope form an unusual bond after a chance enter in the outback

don’t read if haven’t seen s1

the pair hit the road together to uncover the truth behind the mysterious death of Joan’s husband

now s2 is a new mystery close to jacks heart

why was jack framed for killing his police partner and - why he got thrown out of the force

alongside solving other problems each episode while carrying on the main storyline

Bryan Brown and Gteta Scacchi star

I’m sure I did a thread bjr can’t seem to find it to link S1

Enjoyed it but the back story is confusing as I missed the first series. Df

It’s on u or demand

or I can explain it roughly

Will never get time to watch first series, any explanation would be great, thanks!

Ok will try and be short

Okay, I will try and make this short. Joan and IAN were married. IAN went travelling in Spain. IAN died of a heart attack but when Joan found out , he was actually in Australia

so she travelled to Australia by herself and rented a huge campervan and one of her first days of being there, she ended up being in a car accident with jack. . He rolled his car so he ended up helping her and coming try and search for IAN so they solve little mysteries throughout each episode

they find out a few facts here and there and Jack who she crashed into is actually ex cop with a secret past

she finds a key which when they unlock it in a building she finds a bag full of money

later on. She finds a small USB thing on it. It’s recording and a gunshot and a lady died

so it looks like IAN has killed an undercover police lady

also turns out that IAN’s name is IAN and he it was actually ROB someone and he took over IAN‘s personality identity after this shooting he then went to England under IAN and lived his life there

later when we found out that he had a son that he didn’t know about and also turns out that the lady who is a mum of the son actually 30 or years ago was the one who killed the undercover police lady and that is why IAN ran away so that people think that he did it and not this other lady

so basically after eight hours of watching which I enjoyed we work out that IAN aka rob didn’t kill the undercover cop

he took on his identity to pretend that he had killed this lady

and he did meet his son who didn’t know that had died and thought that he had left/ignored him so all ended happily.

I think a little flicker of lust between Joan and Jack

they haven’t done anything in series one but wouldn’t surprise me if they got together in series 2 now she knows that isn isn’t a killer and that her husband was gonna tell her all this before he had a fatal heart attack.

Jack has got a daughter who is also a police officer and it turned out that Jack years ago was accused of doing something which she didn’t do so I’m guessing serious two will be trying to clear his name.

This has all been done by text talk so hopefully it will make sense.

Oh thanks so much for that, Blondes, I will read that again before I watch the next episode!

Blondeshavemorefun · 13/07/2025 11:49

It kinda made sense I hope. I cba to type it so I talked it to text 😂

Blondeshavemorefun · 13/07/2025 11:53

I realise I left a bit off the bag in the money I think was 25 or 50 grand still a bit confused about what it was but we think it was money he was then gonna give his son that he didn’t know about.

The lady who killed the under cop policeman I think was his girlfriend and she had a baby and gave up for adoption that he didn’t know about so he took the blame for the shooting.

He then went to England took over the identity of Ian so when joan went to find Ian in Australia found out it was completely different person and his real he was really a friend of IAN and then she found a photo of IAN and her husband who was actually ROB
