Rake - Season 2

Sharp-witted, but self-destructive solicitor Cleaver Greene (Richard Roxburgh, Moulin Rouge!, Van Helsing) faces new challenges as the "smart, cheeky, and funny legal series" (Newcastle Herald, Australia) returns. In Series 2, Cleaver makes a bitter enemy of the powerful new Attorney General, Cal McGregor (Damien Garvey, Jack Irish), when Cleaver is caught having an affair with his wife (Toni Collette, The United States of Tara). Cleaver's paramour, Missy (Adrienne Pickering, The Reef), causes a scandal with a memoir about her life as a prostitute, and his best friend's wife, Scarlet (Danielle Cormack, Wentworth), can't forgive Cleaver for the damage he caused to her marriage. Cleaver's legal career is just as hectic as his personal life as he defends alleged terrorists, teenage murderers, and leakers of classified information. But will Cleaver's unorthodox conduct finally land him on the wrong side of the courtroom? Guest stars in this hit Australian comedy-drama include Don Hany (Serangoon Road), Maeve Dermody (And Then There Were None), Stephen Curry (Cloudstreet), and Martin Henderson (Grey's Anatomy).
