Full Review

Treasure & Dirt plunges viewers into the desolate Australian outback, where the discovery of a headless torso in an opal mine sets the stage for a labyrinthine crime drama. This initial assessment, based on the first four episodes, reveals a series that confidently embraces its distinctive setting and an unconventional approach to the genre. The narrative, which sees big-city detective Ivan Lucic and local officer Nell Buchanan investigating the brutal murder, is frequently described as dislocating and filled with idiosyncrasies.

Rather than detracting from the experience, these elements contribute to a gloriously strange detective mystery that stands apart from more conventional offerings. The series excels in its direction, with Madeleine Gottlieb earning praise for her superb work in crafting an intoxicating atmosphere that truly captures the harsh beauty and isolation of the outback. This strong visual storytelling is complemented by a production design that effectively immerses the audience in the gritty reality of a remote mining town where law and order is optional.
