What to Expect

Baffling murder cases give Return to Paradise its puzzle-solving momentum, while Mackenzie Clarke and her team's off-beat working dynamic keeps the police procedural light on its feet. The mysteries call for careful untangling, but the tone is more playful than punishing, pairing difficult investigations with the gentle humour of an unconventional team.

Season three brings personal complications that Mackenzie cannot approach quite like a case. Her mother Jillian arrives in Dolphin Cove, and new pathologist Leo complicates her determination not to follow her heart again. Alongside the succession of murders, that resolve gives the story a continuing romantic thread, with Mackenzie's guarded intentions becoming harder to maintain.

Series premise

Detective Inspector Mackenzie Clarke reluctantly returns to her Australian hometown after leaving her fiancé, only to be pulled into a case testing her tenacity until the culprit is apprehended.
