Killing Time is an Australian television drama series on TV1 subscription television channel which first screened in 2011. It is based on the true story of disgraced lawyer Andrew Fraser. In New Zealand it screens on Prime Television. The ten part series is written by Ian David, Mac Gudgeon, Katherine Thompson and Shaun Grant. The executive producer is Jason Stephens. The series was initially due to screen in 2010 but was deferred due to strong violence and horror content scenes of the mini-series, which jeopardised a series of gangland trials that were in progress.
Acting
David Wenham's greasy charisma makes Fraser repulsively watchable.
Production
Deferred a year because it was TOO violent for actual gangland trials.
Writing
Shaun Grant's early work — sharp, nasty, unflinching.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This aired in the shadow of Australia's 'Underbelly' crime drama boom, but distinguished itself by focusing on the legal system rather than just flashy gangsters.
The real Andrew Fraser was released from prison in 2011, the same year this aired — he reportedly found it 'confronting.' You think?
