* ProfoundByPopSong: Mrs. Marlowe offers words of encouragement to Trudy [[spoiler:after her release from prison.]] While it makes sense for Trudy to expect a little old lady to be quoting Literature/TheBible, Mrs. Marlowe is a CoolOldLady with a love of classic rock.
-->'''Trudy Neilson:''' But wild horses couldn't drag me back to that place.\\
'''Mrs. Marlowe:''' That's the attitude. And to paraphrase a favorite verse of mine, "Walking side by side with temptation, the Devil mocks their every step."\\
'''Trudy Neilson:''' Is that the Old Testament?\\

New Zealand [[DetectiveDrama Detective Drama]] (2014-) set in the fictional town of [[{{Barsetshire}} Brokenwood]]. Detective Senior Sergeant Mike Shepherd is sent to investigate a mysterious death and decides to take a demotion to settle down in the quiet, rural backwater. Working alongside him on cases are [[ActionGirl Det. Kristin Sims]] and [[ButtMonkey D.C. Sam Breen]], who help piece together the surprisingly frequent (and oftentimes gristly) murders in town. 36 episodes have aired as of 2022.
The show is also shown in The UK on the Drama channel, where, due to the sheer number of murders in a small rural area, it is often compared to Series/MidsomerMurders, as seen by the quote on the page image.
