Janet King : Season 2
-
Air date: 24 Mar '16 - 8 episodesWith gun crime exploding in the suburbs, Janet King is handpicked by a nervous government to head a Royal Commission into the surge of recent shootings. Unlike the world of the DPP, the Royal Commission allows Janet and her team to become the investigators – they can raid, interrogate and have police seconded to them. As Janet exercises her powers and begins uncovering the truth, criminal and political forces begin to stir, bent on shutting down the Royal Commission, even if it means destroying Janet in the process. A shocking reveal brings Janet’s world crashing in on her as she faces legal proceedings of a deeply personal nature.
