The Strip is a fast-paced, action-packed drama series that premiered on the Nine Network in 2008. The show is set in the Gold Coast, a popular holiday destination in Australia that is known for its beaches, high-rise buildings, and bustling nightlife. The Strip follows the lives of the detectives of the Gold Coast's Criminal Investigations Branch (CIB) as they solve crimes and deal with the challenges of their personal lives. The main character of the show is Jack Cross, played by Aaron Jeffery. Jack is a highly skilled detective who is always on the lookout for the next big case. He is a bit of a maverick and often bends the rules to get results. Jack's partner is Zoe Baulderstone, played by Vanessa Gray. Zoe is a by-the-book detective who often clashes with Jack's unorthodox methods.

The pair are supported by a strong cast of characters, including their boss, Chief Superintendent Michael Slattery, played by Gary Sweet. Slattery is a tough but fair leader who values results above all else. Other members of the CIB include the streetwise Vern Demalle, played by Tim Ross, and the computer expert Melissa Lee, played by Simone McAullay.

Each episode of The Strip focuses on a particular case that the detectives are working on. The cases range from drug busts to murder investigations, and the detectives use a combination of traditional investigative techniques and cutting-edge technology to solve them. The show is full of action, with car chases, shootouts, and fist fights a regular occurrence.

Aside from the crime-solving aspect of the show, The Strip also explores the personal lives of the detectives. Jack, in particular, has a complicated personal life. He is divorced and has a teenage daughter, but he is also romantically involved with a woman named Cindy Panagos, played by Frankie J. Holden. Cindy is a successful businesswoman who is often at odds with Jack's dangerous job.

Zoe, on the other hand, is engaged to be married but is having doubts about her relationship. Her fiancé is a police officer from a different department, and the two of them struggle to find time for each other. Zoe's commitment to her job often puts a strain on their relationship.

One of the unique aspects of The Strip is its setting. The Gold Coast is a visually stunning location with a unique atmosphere, and the show takes full advantage of this. The beautiful scenery is frequently on display, and the show's cinematography is top-notch. The nightlife of the Gold Coast is also an integral part of the show, with the detectives often working late into the night and finding themselves in seedy bars and nightclubs.

Overall, The Strip is an entertaining and engaging drama series that offers a fresh take on the crime procedural format. With its well-drawn characters, fast-paced action, and stunning setting, it's easy to see why the show was a hit with audiences when it premiered in 2008.
