Deadloch, Darling? Chaos, Cath & the Queer Crime We Needed

Spoiler alert, sweeties — we’re spilling a little Deadloch tea… sip responsibly. This week on COCOISM, Boots and Coco step into the wild, chaotic, and deeply human world of Deadloch with the brilliant Alicia Gardiner. From Cath’s fast-talking, big-hearted chaos to the show’s bold queer storytelling, this conversation dives into what makes Deadloch feel so real — and so necessary right now. Alicia opens up about building Cath from the ground up, filming in the intense Australian wilderness (yes, crocodiles included), and why audiences are connecting so deeply to a character rooted in love, community, and moral fire. We get into: – The evolution from Season 1 to Season 2 – The power of queer-led storytelling – Representation that actually means something – The balance of comedy, truth, and chaos – And why we might all need a little more Cath energy in our lives Plus… we ask the real question: Do we need to start a Season 3 campaign? (Answer: yes.) Hosts: Coco Alexander Bueno and Boots Bueno
