Dustfall review – Anna Torv leads a rock-solid, thoughtful police drama with hefty emotional pull

Director Emma Freeman and her team deliver a clever detective story less interested in the mechanics of a sexual assault than the social conditions that surround it * Get our weekend culture and lifestyle email Everybody knows that knives spread butter, Kylie Minogue sings catchy songs, and Australian screen detectives return to their small-town homes. This tried-and-tested narrative, where a crime collides with the ghosts of the past, has again been deployed in Dustfall, a six-part crime drama anchored by another very strong and persuasive performance from Anna Torv (so good in The Newsreader!) as the flinty-but-fair detective Antigone “Tig” Pollard. Tig has relocated to the town of North Gap in Queensland when the show begins, living in the house of her recently deceased grandmother – to the chagrin of her mother Olivia (Juliet Stevenson), who wants it sold – and feeling emotionally drained after a bruising, high-profile rape trial. But when an 18-year-old girl is discovered naked in a local cane field, with very limited recollection of the previous evening, Tig has another disturbing investigation on her hands.

It was one of the darkest periods of my life, on seemingly every front: I was in the midst of a divorce; it was during the global financial crisis and the company I worked for was badly struggling, making every day feel heavy with uncertainty and stress. Everything was a mess and I was emotionally exhausted. One morning during rush hour, I stood at the traffic lights waiting to cross on my way to the office.

The most successful people I meet are often the ones struggling most | Darren Lee

Sometimes the behaviours that helped us survive become so embedded that they mask our past traumas and adversity * The modern mind is a column where experts discuss mental health issues they are seeing in their work Some of the most successful people I meet as a psychiatrist are also some of the most dissatisfied with life. They don’t necessarily look unwell. They are executives, entrepreneurs, doctors, lawyers and high achievers. They run companies and families. They are the people others depend on when something goes wrong. Often, they are exceptionally good at coping. Until they aren’t. Holly* came to see me after years of depressive symptoms and worsening substance use, both of which she had largely managed to conceal from family, friends and colleagues. Her GP recommended a residential treatment program. In her early 40s, she held an executive position in a demanding organisation.
