Janet King

... but grew to hate the 'Janet King' character. There were much more interesting & likeable characters. If this was real life I pity King's children and their future psychological problems.

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.

Great characters and interesting story line that follows the entirety of the season.

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.
