* WhereTheHellIsSpringfield: Dialogue suggests Deadloch is in Tasmania's north, however, the filming locations and maps used are all from Tasmania's south. they're close enough to drive to both the Devonport terminal for the Bass Strait Ferry, and Hobart in less than a couple of hours (the two are 280km or 173 miles away from each other), and it's far enough out of town to be isolated and have only one road in.[[note]]Cygnet which fills in for Deadloch's Main Street is 48km South of Hobart.[[/note]]

* DeadGuyOnDisplay: The killer ''wants'' their work to be seen, so the bodies are placed in public locations for people to find.

* ButchLesbian: Skye is probably the most prominent example, being both fairly butch and married to a woman. Tammy's subplot also largely involves her wanting to be a football star and at one point she openly fantasized about being married to Kehlani.
* CastFullOfGay: Dulcie, Cath, Skye, Nadiyah, Sven, Tammy, and those are just the main characters. Even Eddie implies she's had sex with a woman once or twice.

Added DiffLines:
* StealingTheCredit: James repeatedly brushes off and insults Abby's ideas and then turns around a few scenes later and presents them to Dulcie and Eddie as his. [[spoiler:It's a major factor in why she dumps him.]]

''Deadloch'' is an Australian comedy mystery series that premiered on Creator/PrimeVideo
in 2023.
Tensions are high in the fictional Tasmanian town of Deadloch. After the first female mayor was voted into office, a community of lesbians moved to Deadloch to make it their home, much to the consternation of the conservative long-time residents.
And then a body is found on the beach. OddCouple cops Dulcie Collins (Kate Box) and Eddie Redcliffe (Madeleine Sami) set out to find the killer, who isn’t inclined to stop at one murder.

!!''Deadloch'' provides examples of:
* AffairHair: A variant. The detectives find a pubic hair in the mouth of one of the victims, and it doesn’t belong to his wife.
* AssholeVictim: All of the murder victims abused women in some way.
* BadassAdorable: Abby is sweet, earnest, and one of the younger characters on the show. Eddie’s nickname for her is “Big Eyes.” She is also naturally gifted with forensics and continues to help solve the case while suffering the effects of poison.
* BlackComedy
* DefectiveDetective: Eddie Redcliffe is an alcoholic, grieving mess who spends the first couple episodes ignoring evidence in an attempt to get out of Deadloch as fast as possible.
* ExtremeDoormat: Poor Abby starts the series stuck in a controlling relationship with a man who constantly undermines her. [[spoiler:She eventually grows a spine and breaks up with him.]]
* HeManWomanHater: Many of the men in Deadloch are openly misogynistic, especially Phil Mcangus and Commissioner Hastings.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Dulcie’s wife Cath has this mentality about the murders. She gets called out on it at the end of the season.

* SirSwearsaLot: Eddie. This is in stark contrast to Dulcie, who rarely gets more profane than “bum.”
* SerialKiller: The murderer gradually reveals themselves to be this. Local reporters have a field day trying to decide on a pithy nickname for the killer; the best they can come up with are the “Deadloch Ripper” and the “Deadlock Widow.”
