The outback detective investigates some strange robberies in this satisfying prequel series, which feels more like a six-hour film
in the pantheon of Australia’s all-time greatest screen sleuths.

Origin stories often contain dramatic scenarios that unsubtly construct formative events in the creation of a legend: think of how the Star Wars prequels treated Darth Vader. But Mystery Road: Origin – directed by Dylan River and written by River, Blake Ayshford, Steven McGregor, Kodie Bedford and Timothy Lee – resists neatly join-the-dot moments, building a dramatically credible space that prioritises gradual reveals.
