East West 101: Series 1-3 (Box Set)

All 3 seasons of the multiple award winning Australian series. This tough and compelling crime drama follows Detective Zane Malik and the Major Crime Squad as they investigate crime and murder in all quarters of multicultural Sydney.

SEASON 1 Zane Malik is a brilliant, but hot headed detective in the Major Crime Squad. Malik is also a Muslim and at a time when just to be Arab is to arouse suspicion and fear, he feels under pressure to prove himself and his loyalty to the force.

SEASON 2 The Major Crime Squad form a joint task force with the National Security Organisation to deal with a car bomb attack. There is paranoia in the city and fallout on the Muslim community. Detective Malik knows that in order to stop the circle of hate, he must solve the crime.

SEASON 3 Malik is obstructed in his quest to find those responsible for a $36 million robbery which has connections to a mass murder in Afghanistan. Interference comes from newcomer Detective Neil Travis, whose attitude and approach to the investigation cause conflict with Malik. In the hunt for an elusive foe, ultimately both men are forced to confront what makes a man a hero, or a coward...

“The most cinematic crime show Australia has produced, and in my view the best.”
