Purity Falls

Purity Falls has quietly become one of the more dependable crime dramas currently available in Australia on Amazon Prime Video, and in the US on Amazon Prime Video and Fawesome. The length is exactly right for the story it is telling — nothing rushed, nothing dragged out. 31 viewers have already rated it on TMDB — the kind of consensus that does not happen by accident. Trevor Stines sets the tone, and the ensemble matches it scene for scene. Available now on Amazon Prime Video — press play and find out why people keep recommending it.

Purity Falls is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. At its heart, Purity Falls understands what makes crime drama work — character first, plot second. After the tragic death of her husband, a mother moves her teenage son and daughter to the idyllic town of Purity Falls only to find the rift with her son deepen when he becomes entrapped in the neighborhood maven's nefarious home business. Trevor Stines and Olivia D'Abo lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was released in 2019. The plot mechanics of Purity Falls never overwhelm the human cost underneath them. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

Crime and mystery fans will find exactly what they are after in Purity Falls. It has built its own audience without needing a direct comparison. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch from start to finish. Trevor Stines anchors it, but the writing does the real work. If you are going to commit to one crime drama this month, make it this one.
