And they wind up working together.
And it's that familiar dynamic.
In season two in particular, Kate Box, so they've relocated up to Darwin, which is in northern Australia, which if you think about hemispheres, northern Australia is kind of like the Florida of Australia.
That's crocodile country.
And this is very much a croc country story.
There's a crocodile-related murder, crocs and croc tour, croc farms where people, tourists come to see the crocs.
They're on this river where there's crocodiles on the river.
that plays a very important role in the story.
Where in season one, there weren't really any crocodiles because that's, I don't know if there are any down in Tasmania because Tasmania is far to the south of Australia.
So it's very, very different in terms of the climate.
So you're in kind of Australia's Florida and the characters are just like, it's like Florida man, mostly Florida women actually, but just these absolutely wild characters who run these croc farms and are completely unhinged, screaming at each other in these really thick Australian accents.
Sometimes I was watching the show, and because I'm not from Australia, I was like, is this insensitive?
Like, are some Australians offended by this?
I don't know.
I can't really.
I don't think so.
I think it's mostly, like, because the Kates are so keyed into Australian cultural signifiers and jokes, they're, like, they're so funny and in a way that I can just tell is deeply Australian.
I mean, are you offended by Florida, like?
Well, I think there can be depictions of like Florida, like Florida white trash, to put that in quotes, that I think can be insensitive.
Put a pin in this until November of this year and we can talk all about that.
