The Movies
Jack Irish is down on his luck. Reeling from his wife's murder, the former lawyer has reinvented himself as a private investigator and debt collector, with a penchant for drowning his demons at the local pub. When an old client dies, Jack is thrust back into the criminal underworld that took everything away from him — but might offer his only chance at redemption.
World-weary with a dash of dark humor, Jack takes on cases that dig into the dregs of Australian society and expose conspiracy and corruption among the power elite. Along the way, he becomes involved with smart, ambitious journalist Linda Hillier (Marta Dusseldorp), who realizes there's an honorable man hiding behind his disheveled exterior.
Guy Pearce stars as Jack Irish in three made-for-television movies based on the award-winning novels Bad Debts, Black Tide, and Dead Point by crime novelist Peter Temple.
Season One
The brooding Australian antihero of Peter Temple's award-winning crime novels returns in this six-part drama. Guy Pearce is Jack Irish, a former criminal lawyer turned private investigator and debt collector. When Jack is contracted to find a man with a criminal past who is then killed in front of him, Jack suspects a set-up. The case spirals into a larger international conspiracy involving Muslim extremists and born-again Christians.
Meanwhile, Jack's on-again, off-again girlfriend, journalist Linda Hillier (Marta Dusseldorp), leaves Melbourne to further her career as a foreign correspondent in Manila. Though the job is not exactly what she had planned, Linda quickly realizes she may be on to a big story. As their cases eventually intertwine, Jack and Linda's reunion is tested by the arrival of Sarah Longmore (Claudia Karvan), a metal sculptor with connections.
