... More all worked out. Living in Alice Springs, she's got a great job, a terrific female boss and mentor, who has her marked out for big things.LessDetective Toni Alma is assigned to investigate a suspicious car accident in Perdar Theendar, the Indigenous community she left as a child. Stars Rarriwuy Hick (Wentworth), Luke Arnold (Black Sails), Miranda Otto (The Unusual Suspects) and singer-songwriter Warren H. Williams (who also co-created the series).
'It’s a murder mystery like no other exploring culture, community, family and one woman’s pursuit to find her place within it. Set against the backdrop of the Northern Territory’s Mparntwe (Alice Springs) and Yeperenye (East MacDonnell Ranges), Detective Toni Alma (Hick) is assigned to investigate a suspicious car accident in Perdar Theendar, the Aboriginal community she left as a child and has had little to do with over the years. The beauty of Aboriginal art and the sometimes-devious practices in the global art market lead Detective Alma on a hunt for a killer in her hometown.' (Official synopsis).
LessThe cultural insights are interesting, but structurally the focus of True Colours rests on procedural and noirish elements, which, while competently staged, are overly familiar – even boilerplate.
