Phoenix (1992)
Inspired by a real life bombing of a police car, the series is, in short, about solving this one crime.

This series is edgy, gritty and above all real. There are no magic answers. Resolution doesn't happen in 48 short minutes. The plot, the character development, the acting - all are first rate. Perhaps the best comparison is something like "Hill St Blues". Although "Phoenix" is something unique, make no mistake. I saw this as it was first broadcast. The wait for each week's new episode was interminable. Simply outstanding! This is as good as Australian television - heck, television anywhere - gets!. I've not seen anything quite like it since. Save, perhaps, "Cracker". Lookout also for the follow up series "Janus".
