Overview
In the third season of East West 101, the Major Crime Squad investigates a 36 million dollar robbery in Australia and its connections to the murder of 17 people in Afghanistan.

Malik is obstructed in his quest to find those responsible by the interference of newcomer Detective Neil Travis. Travis has fought in Iraq and his attitude and approach to the investigation cause conflict with Malik.

Search the globe for quality English language television, and East West 101 has got to be in the top 10 shows I've ever viewed....ever. Here's to hoping Series 3 won't be the last we'll see of this great cast & story lines.
I watch a wide variety of commercial TV...lots of cops shows etc.... East West 101 is impressive - easily the best of US and Australian TV. 5 stars all the way.
East West 101 - deserves to clean up heaps of awards. - Easily the best show on TV. SBS is the only station I watch (perhaps a few peeks at the ABC Aust. Story) Also like dear old Commissar Rex. Never, never go near the commercial channels.
