Tonight | Cooper and Fry on ABC TV and ABC iview: Bodies, Folklore and a Fight for the Truth – Cooper and Fry begins with a double episode that brings murder, mystery and uneasy partnership to ABC TV.
Episodes one and two introduce DC Cooper and DC Fry. After a body is found, the two detectives must work together on a case that quickly pulls them into local history, rural secrets and Edendale folklore.
At first, the partnership is far from easy. DC Cooper knows the area and its rhythms. By contrast, DC Fry arrives from the city with a very different way of working.
That clash gives the new drama its early tension. However, both detectives soon realise the case demands more than routine police work.
After a body is unearthed, Cooper and Fry begin digging into the farm’s past. They also turn their attention to its elderly owner. Before long, the investigation takes another grim turn when a second body is uncovered.
A new detective pairing
The opening episodes set up Cooper and Fry as a crime drama built around character, place and mystery.
Cooper brings local knowledge to the investigation. Fry brings a sharper outside perspective. Together, they must learn how to read each other while trying to uncover the truth.
Meanwhile, Edendale’s folklore adds another layer to the case. As Fry learns more about the area, the investigation moves beyond the obvious clues.
The double episode also gives viewers a wider look at the world of the series. It introduces a community with secrets, a farm with history and a case that grows darker with each discovery.
For crime drama fans, Cooper and Fry offers a strong starting point. It has a new partnership, a rural mystery and a deadly fight for the truth.
Cooper and Fry episodes one and two screen Saturday, 4 July at 7.30pm on ABC TV and ABC iview
