Synopsis
The Doctor Blake Mysteries (2013) is an Australian crime drama series you can watch online on iFILM — produced by ABC Australia, set in the gold-rush town of Ballarat, Victoria, in 1959, where a small-city surface hides an unusual number of violent deaths.
Dr Lucien Blake (Craig McLachlan) comes home after decades in Asia to find his father dead and the old man's roles waiting for him: GP, police surgeon, and reluctant pillar of the community. Blake is good at the medical part. The detective work he seems to be getting better at. Mattie (Nadine Garner), his housekeeper, knows which doors to open and which to leave shut.
The series works because Blake is a genuinely interesting figure — a man with a complicated past who chose to leave and is now choosing to stay, one case at a time. Stream The Doctor Blake Mysteries online on iFILM.
