Two detectives who agree on almost nothing are stuck working the same case in a town small enough that everyone already has an opinion about it.
What is Deadloch about?
When a local man turns up dead in the quiet seaside town of Deadloch, the investigation lands on two women who could not be more different in method or temperament. Neither one particularly wants a partner, and the town itself keeps getting in the way, full of neighbors, rumors and history that complicate every lead. The series builds its case as much through the friction between the two leads as through the mystery itself, letting the small-town setting supply as many suspects as answers. Getting the two detectives to actually work together turns out to be its own investigation.
About the cast
The cast includes Patrick Muldoon, Bruce Willis, Matthew Marsden, Michael Devorzon, Johnny Messner, Stephen C. Sepher, Ava Paloma and Kelcey Rose, filling out the town of Deadloch and the case that pulls its two leads together.
Context & significance
Directed by Jared Cohn, Deadloch is a 2021 comedy series that runs roughly an hour per episode and leans into its small-coastal-town setting for both laughs and mystery. The show's premise rests on mismatched-partner comedy layered over a genuine whodunit, a combination that lets it shift tone between scenes of local color and the more procedural business of chasing down a killer. Its reception has been warm, with the pairing of its two leads frequently singled out as the show's strongest asset.
