27 minSeason 1 • Episode 8
LatestPicture this: an artist's model (Annalise Brackenseck) turns out to be the country's most wanted criminal. She also turns out to be quite dead. Was this someone's idea of justice, or is there another motive? Can Hamish Blake draw himself away from the photos of the body long enough to solve the crime?
Welcome to Sleuth 101 – the whodunit game show with a comedic twist, hosted by the effervescent Cal Wilson. As elementary as Watson, Cal's job is to guide the guest detective, keep forensics on their feet and occasionally drop the odd cryptic clue. Each week Cal is joined by a special guest comedian, who is given a crash course in criminology.
Acting
Cal Wilson's unhinged hosting keeps even the dullest guests afloat.
Writing
Mysteries surprisingly clever for a comedy show.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Cal Wilson was already a beloved Australian comedy fixture before this, making her hosting feel like watching your funniest friend finally get their shot.
Sleuth 101 arrived during the 2010s true crime boom, slyly mocking our collective obsession with pretending we could solve murders.
