Crime Drama Dead Lucky’s Attempt at Depicting Multi-cultural Sydney Underwhelms Stuart Richards , 2018 single work review
— Appears in: The Conversation , 25 July 2018;

— Review of Dead Lucky Ellie Beaumont , Drew Proffitt , 2018 series - publisher film/TV

'A good friend and I would often binge episodes of Rizzoli and Isles on our days off. It’s an incredibly straightforward police procedural that would feature a murder investigation each episode. Once the murder occurred, we would have a competition by predicting who killed the victim and why. The clues were often obvious and the twists so heavily foreshadowed that this wasn’t a hard task, even when the crimes were delightfully ridiculous. (And a full disclosure, my housemate would win on a regular basis).' (Introduction)
