Alexa Crowe solves a murder mystery in each episode and there are ten episodes. She likes to stir the pot and see what comes to the surface about the case. She is empathetic but she can be blunt and rude. She also has a quirky sense of humor. She is a former police woman and very few people know why she left the force. Her long-time friend Detective Inspector Kieran Hussey frequently asks her to step in on his trickier cases. She has an assistant, Madison. She is a Data Analyst for the Police and many times she can dig into records for information about a case. Madison is nothing like Alexa because she is an extrovert but they are a great team together.
I did like this series very much. It’s about crime but it’s not heavy and it doesn’t keep you from going to sleep afterwards. The characters are good, interesting and this is only the second leading role for Lucy Lawless. During down times, Alexa has a fancy and complicated industrial bread machine. She bakes bread semi-professionally for a cafe. Her feelings are hurt if patrons don’t eat her bread? She wants to know why they didn't eat it? Another item I like about this series is the scenery of Melbourne. It is another character in the series and many areas are very beautiful. 5* (I really liked this series)
