Deep Water is an Australian crime drama series screened on SBS from 5 October 2016.[1] This four-part miniseries is a Blackfella Films' production, directed by Shawn Seet with Director of Photography Bruce Young.
The drama is based on the real life hate murders of possibly up to 80 gay men in Sydney's eastern suburbs beaches in the 1970s and '80s. SBS screened a documentary, Deep Water: The Real Story in conjunction with the miniseries.
Plot
Detectives Tori Lustigman (Yael Stone) and Nick Manning (Noah Taylor) are assigned a brutal murder case in Bondi, where they begin to uncover mounting evidence to suggest the killing is connected to a spate of unexplained deaths, "suicides" and disappearances throughout the 1980s and 1990s. Haunted by the disappearance of her teenage brother, Tori's fascination with the case soon turns to fixation. When more ritualistic murders occur with the same bizarre signature, Tori and Nick put their relationships, their careers and lives on the line to finally reveal the truth.[2]
