The Code Season 1 2014, Episode One & Two

      Ned and Jesse face political pressure after publishing a video of an accident involving two teens and a truck from a top secret research facility.  Ned was driving and he accidentally tapped the back of the  truck.  For some reason Jesse was pushed over a cliff in the car and she died.  Why would a bloodied Ned be left on the road and Jesse killed?  There must be something in the truck that no one is supposed to know about?  Ned travels to probe details about the truck accident in Lindara.  This is a fictional town filmed in Broken Hill, Silverton, New South Wales and Cockburn Australia  Jesse is kidnapped and held blindfolded in an empty holding cell?  Ned doesn’t know what is happening to Jesse, he only thinks that Jesse isn’t home and he’s not answering calls.  Ned is very worried because he knows there is something very wrong about what they found on the internet.  

     This series is set in Australia and there are six episodes.  Jesse is autistic and he has difficulties interacting with people.  He is a computer wiz, he was arrested once and put in jail for hacking.  Ned works press briefings in the federal building and he is also a newspaperman for an online news company.  There is a Season 2 of The Code.  I recently watched another series with Lucy Lawless titled My Life is Murder.  Lucy is totally different in this film.  3 1/2* (I liked this episode)
