" “This Australian noir could become the coolest show on television.” —emDaily Record/em (U.K.)brbr “Thrilling” —emThe Observer/em (U.K.) brbr Based on the award-winning books by Peter Temple. brbr “Stunning crime drama” —emThe Sun/em (U.K.) brbr Emmysup®/sup winner Guy Pearce (emMemento/em, emIron Man 3/em) is Jack Irish, the brooding antihero of Australian writer Peter Temple’s award-winning novels. Reeling in the wake of his wife’s murder, the former lawyer has reinvented himself as a part-time private investigator and full-time alcoholic, intent on drowning his demons. brbr When an old client dies after leaving Jack several frantic voicemails, the PI realizes he can’t outrun or outdrink his past. Jack returns to the world that took everything away from him—a seedy place of lowlifes, corruption, violence, and retribution. In these two feature-length mysteries, emBad Debts/em and emBlack Tide/em, Pearce delivers a “mesmerizing” performance (emDaily Record/em, U.K.), imbuing Jack with world-weary gruffness and a dash of dark humor. As much as he tries to break away, the underworld is where he thrives—and the only place he can find redemption. brbr Contains strong language, violence, graphic images, nudity, and sexual situations.
