Orange Roughies Season 2
The show centres around four main characters who are members of an elite New Zealand taskforce based in Auckland NZ, intended to be a combination of police and customs officers. Despite being an elite force, they are, as their commander Ron Maddock reminds them, under-funded, under-resourced and under the hammer. Because of this, the Roughies (as they are called) have to make sure that they perform exceptionally well to avoid being canned, as they are, after all, an experiment. Their members are: Detective Sergeant Danny Wilder, Senior Customs Officer Jane Durant, Detective Constable Zach Wiki and Noel Bullerton.

On the trail of a psychopathic killer the Roughies are dragged through a web of deceit and deception by a lying lawyer and the politics of a department that cares more about its image than its front-line staff.

The strains finally take their toll on Jane and Danny’s relationship — driving her to a final decision about her future.

When Ron is shuffled off to the Diplomatic Protection Service, Parkes joins the squad and comes into conflict with Danny over his methods.

Chloe seeks revenge on Leo Sullivan and his family for the amphetamine-fuelled destruction that they have brought into her life. And while Maddock is demoted for some mishandled dentistry, Chloe finds that she and Jackie Sullivan have more in common than horse play.

Problems between Jane and Danny erupt when Danny’s old girlfriend — and one-time colleague — turns up on the run from police corruption in Melbourne. Jane’s attempts to help Chloe escape a known hitman backfire badly — and Jane finds herself in the line of fire.
