When the lonely and wealthy Dr Forbes (McFarlane) is found dead in his Blue Mountains house, Jodie Ferguson's (Parker) 15-year-old son Zac (Green) beats the detectives to the mystery's resolution. At the time of its broadcast (on a non-rating Easter weekend), no decision had been made by Channel 10 as to whether EMERALD FALLS would become a 13-episode series. Such a move seems unlikely. Not only is this 'backdoor pilot' uninspiring, the thought of a murder-mystery series set in a tiny mountain community has even less credibility than a 13-series police drama set in Mt Thomas. Good performances, great location shots and a welcome return to drama by associate producer Parker can't paper over a bewildering soundtrack and the sheer overall pointlessness of it all. No doubt, executives at Ten will conclude that, because nobody watched this, audiences aren't interested in Australian drama. To do so would be to accept a fallacy: what audiences are not interested in is bad drama. At least Nine's UNDERBELLY (its first decent effort since MURDER CALL and GOOD GUYS BAD GUYS, the fluffy McLEOD'S DAUGHTERS and WATER RATS notwithstanding) is somewhat edgy, and Seven's CITY HOMICIDE (its best idea since the respective first seasons of the albeit-unoriginal BLUE HEELERS and ALL SAINTS) is somewhat fun. The question that should be asked is why the commercial networks seem stuck in the 1970s, casting white actors in middle-class roles while the ABC and SBS create the real successes.
