Halifax: Retribution is an Australian television series that premiered on the Nine Network in 2020. The show is a continuation of the hit series Halifax f.p., which aired from 1994 to 2001. Halifax: Retribution follows forensic psychiatrist Jane Halifax, who returns to help the police solve a series of high-profile crimes.

Rebecca Gibney reprises her role as Jane Halifax, who is now older and perhaps a bit more world-weary than we last saw her. Despite her age, however, Halifax is no less sharp or insightful. As always, she has a gift for understanding the minds of criminals, and she is determined to use that gift to help the police catch the perpetrators of these crimes.

The show’s first case involves the murder of a local businessman, and Halifax is called in to assist the police in their investigation. Over the course of the six-episode series, Halifax works with a team of detectives and other experts to gather evidence and build a case against the suspect.

One of the most interesting aspects of Halifax: Retribution is the way it explores Halifax’s personal life. In addition to her work as a forensic psychiatrist, Halifax is also dealing with her own personal dramas. She’s recently separated from her husband, for example, and she’s struggling to reconnect with her daughter. These personal issues add depth and complexity to the series, and they help to make Halifax a more relatable and engaging character.

Another standout aspect of the show is its cast. In addition to Rebecca Gibney, Halifax: Retribution features an all-star lineup that includes Claudia Karvan, Mavournee Hazel, and Anthony LaPaglia. Each actor brings depth and nuance to their respective roles, and they work together well to create an ensemble cast that is truly compelling.

The show also boasts strong writing and direction. The series was written and created by Roger Simpson, who also wrote for the original Halifax f.p. series. Simpson’s writing is sharp and suspenseful, and he knows how to keep the audience guessing. The show’s director, Peter Andrikidis, also deserves credit for his skillful direction. He creates a tense and atmospheric atmosphere that perfectly complements the show’s subject matter.

Overall, Halifax: Retribution is a fantastic series that will appeal to fans of both crime dramas and character-driven shows. With its sharp writing, strong cast, and skillful direction, it stands out as one of the best Australian TV shows of 2020.

Halifax: Retribution is a series that ran for 1 seasons (8 episodes) between August 25, 2020 and on Nine Network
