Trivia
Kettering, the town in which this series is set, was the site of a celebrated UFO sighting in February 1976. Around this time period, Tasmania was considered Australia's biggest UFO hotspot. For instance, just two years following the first Kettering sighting, a pilot reported making contact with an unidentified flying object in nearby King Island. Ten years later, in 1998, hundreds of residents of King Island reportedly saw "strange lights in the sky", with sightings going on for an entire week. As recently as 2013, residents have reported lights floating above their property, darting off in different directions.

I'm utterly hooked!

I'm glad I didn't read the other reviews before I started watching The Kettering Incident because I'm absolutely hooked! I just stumbled upon it and I'm so glad I did. I personally find it to be an intriguing balance between what is revealed and what is held back in each episode. What some reviewers find "slow paced" I just find to be good mystery and tension.

This certainly isn't the only crime show from Down Under I've enjoyed. I was a big fan of "No Activity" (which was a comedy, so quite different from this) and "Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries" is one of my favourite shows. But as a Canadian, I really have to rely on the internet to access Australian shows, and I don't always hear about them. I'm glad I came across this gem!

The tone and pace reminds me a little bit "Wallander" (I've only seen the British version with Kenneth Branagh), but perhaps with a supernatural twist? I haven't finished the series yet, so I'm not really sure what the "answer" is. Can't wait to find out though!
