Crime drama with ‘one of the best twists of all time’ finally available on Netflix
It stars actors from Downton Abbey and Game of Thrones.
A crime drama that viewers have declared ‘one of the best they’ve watched in a long time’ has now been made available on Netflix.
First airing in Australia in 2023, North Shore was created by Mike Bullen, who was also behind the comedy-drama Cold Feet.
The six-part series follows a British and Australian detective who must team up and investigate the murder of the British trade minister’s daughter after her body is found in Sydney Harbour.
The politician, Abigail Crawford, is played by Downton Abbey and Breathtaking’s Joanne Froggatt.
In the middle of negotiating a major deal between Britain and Australia she is told the devastating news about her 19-year-old daughter Sophie’s (Bailey Spalding) death.
Invited to help investigate the case is London based detective Max Drummond (Game of Thrones’ John Bradley) who flies across the world with Abigail and her husband Simon (Dan Spielman).

Despite their icy introduction, the pair must overcome their differences to work together, which then sees them uncovering a ‘complex conspiracy with international political consequences’.
Several suspects then emerge, including Sophie’s boyfriend and his best friend, while questions are also raised about Abigail’s relationship with her old friend Greg Hardy, the leader of the Australian opposition party who looks likely to be the nation’s next leader.
Since tuning in, many viewers have shared what they thought of the drama.
