‘Heavily judged and discriminated against – but never shown on TV’: Stan’s Critical Incident shows the real Australia

A police officer pursues a teenage suspect and, during the chase, an innocent bystander is critically injured. Things get even worse for the constable when he discovers the young female he was chasing wasn’t even the perpetrator.

This is the premise behind the latest Stan Original Series, Critical Incident – a psychological crime thriller filmed and set in Western Sydney, written and created by Sarah Bassiuoni (The Secrets She Keeps), and produced by Matchbox Pictures.

The Matchbox Pictures production stars Zoë Boe (The Tree) as Dalia, the aforementioned suspect, and Akshay Khanna (Polite Society) as Senior Constable Zil Ahmed, as well as Roxie Mohebbi, Hunter Page-Lochard, Jai Waetford, Jackson Heywood, Zindzi Okenyo, Simone Kessell, and Erik Thomson.
