Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Stingers earns its spot. The plotting gives Stingers its backbone, but it is the characters you come back for. Stingers brings to light the life and work of an undercover police unit located in Melbourne. This dangerous work requires complete dedication, one slip can cost an operative their life. Peter Phelps and Kate Kendall lead a cast that never lets the mystery feel thin. The series ran for 8 seasons (1998–2004), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly. What distinguishes the best crime dramas from the rest is whether the character work can carry scenes where the mystery takes a breath — Stingers passes that test consistently. The consistency throughout is what elevates it — not every moment is the best, but none of them are a reason to stop watching.

Crime and mystery fans will find exactly what they are after in Stingers. The tonal similarities to Crime Story are real, though Stingers carves out its own identity quickly. 8 seasons is a lot, but the quality holds all the way through. Peter Phelps carries scenes that would sink a lesser production. The resolution feels inevitable rather than arbitrary, which is rarer than it sounds.

Stingers wrapped up in 2004, created by Tony Morphett and Mikael Borglund — and 8 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
