Actually released in 1988, this harborside cop show can't decide whether its THE BILL on water, DRUGNET, or POLICE: MOST DANGEROUS VIDEOS. Ultimately it looks like a forerunner of WATER RATS.

Andrew McFarlane does his best with a patchwork script but comes up wanting. About the highlight of the show is seeing dear old Joe Bugner, "Aussie Joe" to his fans, hamming it up as a bouncer. In the wash-up, little more than an excuse for showing off Sydney Harbor.

Conceived initially as a telemovie, it received theatrical release Stateside under the alternate title, THE ROCKS.

The drama genre is a broad category that features stories portraying human experiences, emotions, conflicts, and relationships in a realistic and emotionally impactful way. Dramas delve into the complexities of human life, often exploring themes of love, loss, morality, societal issues, personal growth, with the aim to evoke an emotional response from the audience by presenting relatable and thought-provoking stories.
