Bite Club is currently in production in Sydney, produced by Playmaker for Nine with major production investment from Screen Australia, in association with Create NSW.
My first thought was the shark the serial killer they were hunting, then I re-read it, the description leaves it to be interpreted that way for a fun person like me!
hehe leave you speechless? LOL gee that’s a first… They do seem to have a good cast though… Maybe it’s the second coming of Cops : LAC , remember that?

Not only are they survivors but also ex-lovers. Exceptional at what they do, together they’re a force like no other.

Marny Kennedy (Mortified, Janet King) appears as semi-pro surfer Amber Wells, Darcie Irwin-Simpson (Love Child) is Detective Claire Hobson and Arka Das (Pulse) plays Forensic Specialist Depak Chaudhary.
At least they’ve chosen a night it where it won’t clash with other Aussie dramas but it’s weird that all the dramas have started at the same time of year now.
Sunday Rake
Monday Doctor Doctor
Tuesday 800 Words
Wednesday Bite Club
And Ten are going to have to put their drama Playing For Keeps up against one of those.
Found this to be a big disappointment. It was really dull and dreary even with the beautiful location. Tried to build tension with the music but they forgot to do it with me story.
The less said about the shark attack the better.
They do seem to have a good cast though… Maybe it’s the second coming of Cops : LAC , remember that?
