The Alice

2005–2006 · 1 season

A sun-baked outback drama that mixes small-town secrets with a murder mystery, feeling both sprawling and intimate.

Overview: The Alice was an Australian drama television series created by Justin Monjo and Robyn Sinclair. It was set in the central outback city of Alice Springs. The program began as a successful TV movie, that later spun off a regular series. The series proved less popular and was cancelled by the Nine Network on 28 September 2005 after a sharp decline in its ratings. The entire series and original TV movie have since been released on DVD.
