East West 101 is about the Major Crime Squad in metropolitan Sydney. It is based upon the experiences of actual detectives in a crime unit in Sydney’s western suburbs. Muslim detective Zane Malik is fighting crime in a post 9/11 world. There are times when he feels unsupported by the law. As a boy his father was shot by an armed robber and the shooter was never apprehended and brought to justice.
A police officer is killed apparently by two armed robbers of middle Eastern appearance. Zane Malik uses his connections in the Arab community to track down the two youths involved. Malik butts head with the Senior Detective. He is accused of putting his community before his job? This a fast paced and interesting series. 5* (I really liked this episode)
