- TriviaTranslating some of the terms and phrases used in the series for American viewers: A "door knock" is a neighborhood canvas, where police knock on doors to locate witnesses to the crime. A "death knock" is the notification of the next-of-kin of the death of a victim. To "root" someone is to have sex with them, while "rooted" means someone is tired. Similarly, "stuffed" means being tired, but telling someone to get stuffed is similar to telling them to go screw themselves. A "reggo" is a vehicle registration, which reveals the owner. A "shottie" is the term used for a shotgun.
When confronting a suspect, the police do not yell "Freeze!" as they do on American cop shows. Instead, they yell "Police! Don't move!".
- Crazy creditsAt the beginning of each programme, a title card is shown that reads "No greater honour will ever be bestowed upon an officer than when they are entrusted with an investigation into the death of a Human Being."

Featured review
Possibly the best Australian drama in years
When I started watching this show I was very sceptical of what I was going to fine. I haven't watched virtually any Australian shows in recent years, as almost all that are touted as drama are soaps instead (e.g. All Saints, Blue Heelers).
By the end of the first episode I was in love with this show. Having grown up hearing stories about the police force from people who know, this show seems to represent the realism that is sorely lacking in most other cop shows.
The acting is terrific, the humour is spot on and the gore level is just right. The cases are interesting and the way they are presented are sometimes destined to break your heart. This show sticks to drama instead of swaying into melodrama.
This is a must watch.
