Bad Cop, Bad Cop is a 2002 Australian television series producedby the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and Southern Star, directed by David Caesar
The series is a black comedy about two utterly corrupt police officers Lilywhite and Knutt (the "bad cop, bad cop" of the title). Lafever is their friend, a lawyer with a relaxed attitude to the goings on. Police graft, corruption and brutality are satirised in a very dry comic fashion, and with a stream of matter-of-fact obscenities. The series is shot in the eastern suburbs of Sydney, with Lilywhite and Knutt often seen drinking at the Clovelly Bowling Club and numerous references to Maroubra.[1]
The title is a reference to the tactic of good cop, bad cop; though in this case both cops are as bad as each other.
