Bad Cop, Bad Cop


Bad Cop, Bad Cop is a 2002 Australian television series produced
by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and Southern Star, directed by David Caesar

Cast

The series is a black comedy about two utterly corrupt police officers Lilywhite and Knutt. Lafever is their friend, a lawyer with a relaxed attitude to the goings on. Police graft, corruption and brutality are satirised in a very dry comic fashion, and with a stream of matter-of-fact obscenities. The series is shot in the eastern suburbs of Sydney, with Lilywhite and Knutt often seen drinking at the Clovelly Bowling Club and numerous references to Maroubra. Police misconduct had been a real-life problem in New South Wales and elsewhere in Australia.
The title is a reference to the tactic of good cop, bad cop; though in this case both cops are as bad as each other.
