Black Snow 2 (Lucas Taylor 2025)

Travis Fimmel is back as the damaged detective in New South Wales. He's also an exec producer. He's a special actor / character.

He's lost his brother, through his father thinks he's alive, and in parallel investigates the disappearance of a girl two decades ago - half the story is her flashback. I was reminded in part of The Killing.

It's very involving. Created by Lucas Taylor. Directors Sian Davies (3) Helena Brooks (2) and the final one directed by Fimmel himself. Additional writers Beatrix Christian and Huna Amweero.

Jana McKinnon is the missing girl, her mum Victoria Haralabudou, dad Dan Spielman, uncle Josh McConville. Kat Stewart is the dodgy politician. Nicholas Hope is the detective's brother, and they come so close to reconciling, but then there's an end of season two moment. Megan Smart is the cop / former friend. All acting good.


A 'Sundance Now' original, which is nothing to do with the Sundance Festival. It's one of the companies AMC owns.

Interesting mountainous terrain adds nothing to story.
