East West 101

Last year we enjoyed watching East West 101 (Season 1). Now we have just finished watching Season 2. It's very easy to finish off over a few weeks, being only 7 episodes. (unlike 24, for example, which feels like it goes forever...).*

Detective Zane Malik (Don Hany) reappears in this season, a Muslim cop working with the Major Crime Squad solving murders in Sydney. The overarching plot throughout this season is a car-bomb murder, which requires the Squad to work with the National Security Organisation (NSO). There are also the personal stories of the characters woven throughout.

It's a great series, high-quality drama. I wish we made more quality TV like this in Australia.



* It is a bit violent too, although sadly I am used to violence having watched 8 seasons of 24!

    Glad you liked season 2. I've only watched season 1 and was sad to miss season 2 on TV. I enjoyed it because it is set in Sydney and actually represents multicultural Sydney more accurately than most other Australian TV shows.

    Try the library Jenny - that's where we found Season 1!
