Jack Irish: Dead Point (ABC1, 2014)

2012's Jack Irish instalments, Bad Debts and Black Tide were very pleasant, staunchly Ozzie, and surprisingly intelligent telemovies that I enjoyed so much I even considered buying the DVDs (the moment passed). They were good: casting, acting, directing, writing — they were all the shit, man, and when wiki said there were more to come, anticipation was high.

And then Dead Point arrived this month and boy did it suck: blegh acting, stale plotting, plodding dialogue, a snail-like pacing. The Better Half looked at me balefully afterwards and I'm like, Hey, I'm as disappointed as much as you, yo.

What the heck happened?
