Obviously my esteemed fellow reviewer has an axe to grind. Describing it as pushing a "leftist, lesbian" agenda is utter nonsense. If the relationship were heterosexual, I seriously doubt that any such vitriol would be forthcoming. Yes, the initial police/courtroom/trial scenes had a couple of "reality" plot holes large enough to drive a tank through, but these are easy to forgive, given the extraordinary quality of this series. Perhaps if you require an absolutely, completely, utterly perfect drama series, you could make it yourself? If for no other reason than to show the rest of us how amazingly talented & absolutely NOT homophobic you must be.
I've deducted points for the skipping over of stories. I understand that there was a snowball intent - throwing losses in the courtroom with a sex scandal and murder attempts at Janet in quick succession - but what it felt like was that there were issues that were being brushed under the carpet and being left unresolved.
That being said, Janet King is modern Australian television that teeters between "you f-ing go girl" to conspiracy theory central. They tackle the massive arc-topic of child pornography and rings of illicit activity operating within the upper echelons of public service that could actually be so close to the truth it's uncomfortable. They demonstrate the difficulties that come with working in the public service and the risk to both body and mind that comes with working on such horrible crimes.
I absolutely applaud the efforts of this show, and the cast and crew.

Great Australian Drama are words I don't often agree with these days. Upon switching the channel over to the ABC and stumbling across the final episode of this for just a few minutes I was hooked! I then went back and watched the first episode, then the second and could not stop - this is Great Australian Drama- it really is! If you like watching a drama where you think you have the guilty parties worked out then realize it cannot be them, and then you become suspicious of a few of them then this is for you - it will keep you guessing until the end and what an explosive ending it is! I don't like giving away too much but do yourself a favor and watch this, watch it for the great Aussie cast of fantastic talent and watch it for the really good script.
Some of my favorite shows come to us from Australia or England. In this case I found "Janet King" (coming from Australia) to be a refresh take on the far too over populated legal drama series. In the US crimes are generally wrapped up in a single episode. This series doesn't do that. It moves the viewer through the season with the goal of solving the crime and saving the day happen at just the right time. Some shows build to such a climax during each episode. This series refrains from doing that. It's like a good book that keeps you interested and invested to the very end. Anyway, to me, "Janet King: The Enemy Within" is fascinating... and I'm totally hooked!!

This show is amazing! It's great writing, great characters, great directing and great acting. And in a world where Hollywood spew out a lot of "standardized" TV shows, I love how refreshingly non-Hollywood this show is.
I watched Crownies before starting on Janet King. I like both shows, but prefer the latter. Crownies was fun, but Janet King is a lot darker than Crownies. It has more conflicts and more dept, something I personally appreciate. I'm also a huge fan of the title character and of Marta Dusseldorp. You definitely end up rooting for Janet, she's awesome and a total bad-ass. There are a lot of conflicts, and a lot of strain on the main character. And Marta Dusseldorp portrays every feeling perfectly. You can see what she thinks, what she feels, and she's so darn likable :-) A reason why I always end up emotionally invested.
I'm very much hooked on this show! I think a lot of people would be if they started watching.
