Phoenix (Tv Series)The Phoenix television series is a ten-part Australian police drama recounting the investigation of the bombing of the state police headquarters, loosely based on a real case in the mid-1980s. Aided by extensive research into police techniques, the show was lauded as one of the most realistic depictions of real police investigation techniques, including both surveillance and forensics, as well as an involving storyline. Notable for its dark visual tone, for its no-holds-barred attitude to violence as well as for its language (which was far, far earthier than supposedly dark police dramas from the United States at the time and since), the show spawned a second ten-part series as well as a spinoff series, Janus, devoted to the machinations of court cases. An American science fiction TV show of this same name, The Phoenix, starring Judson Scott ran on ABC for about one month in the spring of 1982. A 90-minute pilot aired on March 19, 1982.
