Phoenix is an Australian police drama television series that screened as two 13-part series on the ABC in 1992 and 1993. The first series of Phoenix in 1992 recounted the investigation of the bombing of the Victorian state police headquarters, loosely based on a real case in the mid-1980s, the Russell Street Bombing. It was aided by extensive research into police techniques and was lauded as one of the most realistic depictions of police investigation techniques, including both surveillance and forensics, as well as having an involving storyline. Notable for its dark visual tone and for its no-holds-barred attitude to violence and language (which was far, far earthier than supposedly dark police dramas from the United States at the time and since).
