Plot

Rush follows the lives of members of the prestigious Tactical Response team (TR), which is based on the real life Victoria Police Critical Incident Response Team, a highly mobile unit that fills the operational gap between general duties police and the SWAT-like Special Operations Group. The team is seen responding to violent incidents such as carjackings, suicides and armed offences. Rush focuses on the TR officers, their intelligence officer, Leon and Inspector Kerry Vincent, head of the TR administration. It explores both the working and personal lives of the team.

Production

The pilot for Rush, originally titled Rapid Response, was filmed in 2004 and based on an earlier Police Rescue script.[2] The pilot featured several characters and cast who did not return for the series, including Matthew Le Nevez, Libby Tanner and Corrine Grant. The series was initially rejected but years later was picked up for production when the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike affected Ten's imported shows.[3]

Sergeant Dominic "Dom" Wales, played by Josef Ber, was originally scripted to be killed in the first season, however during production Van der Boom asked to be released. Her US working visa had been approved and being a "Residency Visa", required her to move to the US. As such, the character of Grace was killed off instead. [4] Jolene Anderson joined the cast for the second series, from the 16th of July 2009.[5] [6]The series is filmed in Victoria in both regional and metropolitan areas.

DVD

The first season DVD will be released by Hopscotch Entertainment on the 30th of July 2009.[7]
