The Chief - Season 1
Season 1
Episodes
Episode 1
The Chief embraces a new government scheme that offers ex-offenders a job in the police force. As the initiative gains momentum, he quickly finds himself extending second chances all round - not only to ex-convicts, but also to the environment and, most surprisingly, to his estranged daughter Ellen.
The interview process is complex, and the chief gets grilled on live radio, but he is determined to make it work and appoint the right candidate for the position. Can Miekelson's 'Miekiavellian' plans ensure that these second chances don't become his only chance to save his job?
Episode 2
The Chief signs up for a personal revamp after his colleagues point out a long list of his privileges. He eagerly enrols in a programme of modules and workshops specifically suited to today's ever-evolving workplace. No-one is keener to surf society's wave of woke than ally-to-all Cameron Miekelson.
Across the organisation, the Chief becomes a visible, enthusiastic agent of change in the hope that he can delay any changes. As he feels the tide of history rising higher, he has to work ever harder to keep his head above water.
Episode 3
The Chief is made aware of a potential newspaper scoop featuring a leaked recording that could sink his whole career. His paranoia soon becomes all-consuming, and he suspects those around him in the force - even his own family - of betrayal. These explosive revelations threaten to eclipse his revolutionary new police work policy, where he redefines the very nature of crime. As his relationship with government, press and the public deteriorates, will he be forced to redefine the very nature of the Chief?
Episode 4
The Chief dusts off the old Miekelson charm and gets set to explore the singles scene once again.
Though he is married to the force, and justice
is his mistress, the Chief feels the time is right to dip his toe into the water and get back out there, hoping to meet a high flyer at a similar level to himself. He appreciates assistance from younger staff and his daughter as he attempts to present an appealing personal profile. Out on the town and seeking romance, a reminder of his romantic history could be set to scupper the whole affair.
