Deadloch season two review – every bit as wonky, devilish and potty-mouthed as the first

There’s no doubt which principal character reflects the heart, soul and warped humour of Deadloch, the darkly comedic and wigged-out police procedural created and written by Kate McCartney and Kate McLennan. It’s certainly not Kate Box’s senior sergeant Dulcie Collins: a generally calm and considered detective who doesn’t rush to judgment. It’s her partner Eddie Redcliffe (Madeleine Sami), a thunderously loud, incongruous, decorum-breaking force of nature who doesn’t so much speak as screech, howl and bluster, as if trying to strangle the air itself, particle by particle.
