Joanne Froggatt’s crime drama hailed as having “one of the best twists of all time” is leaving Netflix

by

The Australian crime drama North Shore, starring Joanne Froggatt, will be removed from Netflix on June 19th. That gives you less than three weeks to watch all six episodes of this highly-rated series, which follows a pair of unexpected partners solving an international murder.

So, the show’s about this really interesting team-up. It’s a total clash of cultures – you’ve got this British detective, Max Drummond, working with an Aussie detective, Meg Driscoll, to solve this weird case. Apparently, a young woman died under strange circumstances in Sydney, and they have to figure out what happened.

Working together, they attempt to solve a complicated murder and reveal a conspiracy that could affect global politics.

Okay, so I just heard about this new crime drama, and it sounds intense! Amelia Froggatt, who you might know from other shows, plays a UK trade minister whose daughter is found dead in Sydney. And get this – John Bradley West, Samwell Tarly from Game of Thrones, is playing a detective named Max Drummond. Kirsty Sturgess is also in it as another detective, Meg Driscoll. I’m definitely adding this to my watchlist!

Rounding out the cast are Matt Passmore, Cassandra Sorrell, Dan Spielman and Rob Carlton.

What to Read Next

Originally debuting in Australia in 2023, North Shore was later picked up by ITV in the UK. While it was on Netflix last year, you can still stream it now on ITVX if you missed it.

The series was a hit with viewers, and many IMDb reviews specifically praised the actors and the storyline.

One viewer shared that the show really captivated them over a few episodes. They especially praised the performances of Joanne Frogatt, Kirsty Sturgess, and John Bradley (whom they hadn’t seen before), as well as the entire supporting cast. They also noted the stunning scenery.

I was hooked after just one episode! The characters are already well-developed, the production quality is excellent, and the acting is fantastic. It’s refreshing to see a script with so much depth and subtlety – it really restores your faith in good writing, one viewer said.

One viewer praised the show for having “one of the best twists ever,” comparing the final episode’s surprise to the shocking reveal in the first season of Broadchurch – a high compliment for any crime or murder mystery series.

North Shore is now available to stream on ITVX and Netflix in the UK.
