New Aussie Suspense-Mystery-Thriller mix Series
Expect action with this Jack Irish bloke. A criminal lawyer gone rogue as debt collector, drunk, gambler, and more after his wife's murder. Guy Pearce becomes the character that was created from the crime novels of Peter Temple. Those books are being released in America now in parallel with the winning TV series. Even 100 minutes can't do justice to the novel, but the character focus is preserved, as well as the Melbourne setting, also the film location.
Some great orchestration and pop music mixed into the episodes.
Jack is a fallen, grieving lawyer who investigates dark lives--a series that is Aussie character driven.
I loved the touching scenes in the wood shop which included the old cabinet maker Charlie (Vadin Glowna) but alas he died prior to airing of the 2 episodes he acted so honestly through. There are also some great give-n-go moments in the local pub.
Bad Debts
An ex-client turns up dead, so jack falls back into a bit of his old life...
jack irish, the best
i've watched both episodes and they are the best. i am wondering if there will be more that are viewable on usa format? hope so. the three old boys in jack's second office are a wonderful touch.
