We've found a great series on Netflix
"Rake"--an Australian 4-season series about a lawyer who is, well, a rake. There are mysteries, absorbing plots, lots of sex, plus it's funny as hell. I really love it.
We found it after watching "Dr. Blake", another Australian series, about a crime-solving physician, which isn't nearly as good as Rake.

(813 posts)and loved Nadine Garner as Jean so much that we looked for something else with her in it.
Hulu has the entire run (six/seven seasons) of "City Homicide", an Aussie police procedural. Like a lot of enjoyable procedural shows, the main character is the ensemble itself, bringing their skills and flaws together.
We called it the "Not Jean Show" and enjoyed it a lot.
Since in the last year we've been through this, Rake, Dr Blake, and Miss Fisher, maybe it's time to think about an Australian trip

(21,107 posts)was turning down a free trip to Australia when I was 18. Long story, but it is one of those DUH moments that youth makes.
Yes, I loved Jean's character also.
