Terrifying crimes in idyllic places always bring with them something special and unsettling. Detective Andy Whitford (Leah Purcell), along with his partner Helen (Sarah Wiseman) and teenage daughter Kira (Pez Warner), are looking forward to a relaxing time after moving from the big city to Broken Ridge in the mountains of Victoria, but they soon disappear.

Here's how to watch "High Country" online from anywhere using a VPN.

It's a classic fishhook story and crime drama rolled into one, with some predictable twists (does teenage daughter Kira have anything better to do than raise the issue with Detective Whitford when her personal and professional lives collide?), some variables (Damian is invited in as a consultant psychic and suspect), and some genuinely intriguing twists (no spoilers here).

Whitford draws attention to the fact that three people have disappeared within a 40-kilometer radius in the past 12 months, says her replacement, Sgt. He tells her, "Here, it's a fact of life." That's the gist of this program. In a nutshell, this show is an urban detective with something to prove and against whom the odds are stacked against him.

The scenery is beautiful and will not be familiar to anyone but Antipodeans, but the real star is Leah Purcell as Whitford. She anchors the miniseries with a stormy performance that keeps viewers hooked to the end as she uncovers a complex web of murder, deception, and revenge.
