Cancel your August plans, friends! Stan is about to drop a new binge-worthy crime series that'll have you glued to your screens.
Get ready for the Stan Original Series Critical Incident, which is set to premiere on August 12, right after we've all recovered from our Olympic Games Paris 2024 hangover. And the best part? All episodes will be available at once, so you can kiss your social life goodbye for a weekend!
This isn't your run-of-the-mill crime drama either. Creator Sarah Bassiuoni (from The Secrets She Keeps) has drawn from her real-life experiences as a lawyer in Western Sydney's juvenile justice system to bring us a gripping psychological thriller.
The story follows senior constable Zilifcar 'Zil' Ahmed, played by Akshay Khanna, who finds himself in hot water when a routine patrol goes horribly wrong, leaving an innocent bystander critically injured and his world turned upside down when he discovers his suspect, Dalia (played by Zoë Boe) was not the perpetrator.
Zil has to confront his guilt over the bystander’s injuries while withstanding the pressure of the investigation into the incident, which leads to him developing an obsession with pinning something on Dalia.
