The enigmatic Australian series titled “North Shore,” featuring Joanne Froggatt and John Bradley, can now be streamed on Netflix.

In this crime drama, Froggatt plays Abigail Crawford, a British detective who journeys to Sydney to unravel the case of a murdered trade minister’s child. Upon her arrival in Australia, Abigail clashes with local investigator Max Drummond, played by Bradley.

First aired in 2023, the six-episode series debuted on ITVX in December. Now, fans of this genre have an additional viewing option as all episodes are now streaming on Netflix starting today.

Written and produced by Mike Bullen, the television show “North Shore” was widely praised by viewers when it first aired, garnering an overall rating of 6.8 on IMDb based on more than 2,000 individual reviews.

One user commented that “the last episode offers the most unexpected plot twist of any crime or murder mystery show,” while another agreed, expressing their admiration for the “well-executed conclusion” and “clever twist.
