In Series 3 of this Australian legal drama, senior Crown prosecutor Janet King (Marta Dusseldorp) leads a National Crime Commission investigation into the seamier side of the country's professional sports. The probe unveils a complicated web of money laundering, illegal performance-enhancing drugs, sports betting, and violence. It becomes personal for Janet when she learns that her estranged father, the wealthy owner of a company that is a major sports sponsor, becomes a "person of interest" in the case. She is also tested by the usual rivalries and political considerations that seem endemic to her role in the Australian legal system. The demands of her high-profile job would be enough responsibility for most people, but single parent Janet is also the primary caregiver for her young twins. VERDICT As the complex story unfolds, American audiences may find the vocabulary of Australian sports a little confusing, but the series is worth the challenge.
