A murder mystery, starring Liar and Angela Black star Joanne Froggatt, has been added to Netflix today.
It’s an Australian series called North Shore, set on and around Sydney Harbour, and was originally acquired by ITV in the UK, streaming on ITVX following its initial release on Australian television in 2023.
According to its synopsis, the six-part crime drama follows “the clash of cultures when a British and an Australian detective team up to solve a complex murder mystery and uncover a conspiracy with international political consequences”.
The cast have won high praise from audiences, with IMDb reactions pointing to the actors and the characters they portray as being some of the best aspects of the series.
Alongside Froggatt, the cast of North Shore includes John Bradley West (Game of Thrones), Kirsty Sturgess (Thirteen Lives), Matt Passmore (Last Man Standing), Cassandra Sorrell and Dan Spielman.

Elsewhere, one viewer has praised the show as having “one of the best twists of all time”, adding: “the final episode has the most surprising twist of any crime/ murder mystery series since the first season of Broadchurch…”
Another said that North Shore has “just the right amount of thriller and mystery to keep you wondering”, also pointing to “little hints of comedy” along the way.
Not all reactions were completely positive though, with one saying that the series is “plagued by cliches that undermine its potential” and another calling it “predictable.”
Now that North Shore is available to binge-watch on Netflix, we expect it to attract new audiences.

North Shore is now available to stream on ITVX and Netflix in the UK.
