Jack Irish follows the titular character, a former defence lawyer turned investigator and debt collector, and is based on the books by Peter Temple.
The series was called "terrific" by one fan on Google, while the show has a 76% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.
Alongside Pearce, the show stars Marta Dusseldorp, Aaron Pedersen, Roy Billing, Shane Jacobson and Damien Richardson.
Last month, Pearce scored his first-ever Oscar nomination for his turn in The Brutalist, which is one of the frontrunners at this year's ceremony after landing 10 nods.

Meanwhile, earlier in February the actor opened up about why he starred in "a bunch of shit" films for a couple of years, admitting to The Times that he "needed the money" while going through a divorce.
"It was my divorce period, 2016, '17 and '18. I'd read scripts thinking, 'No, this is pretty good actually, I could do this' but a year earlier I would have said no," he said.
"You're forced to expand your tolerance of things when you need dough, so it was a real relief once I paid off my divorce.
"But it blurred my vision. I'd read something that I felt was good and then question myself. 'Is it good? Or just in the camp of paying off my divorce?'"

Marvel's 'Fantastic Four: First Steps' opens to $118 million domestically
What superhero fatigue? Twice in one month, a comic book film has rocketed to the top of the box office, debuting with more than $100 million in ticket sales. Two weeks ago, it was "Superman," the first theatrical release from James Gunn and Peter Safran as co-heads of DC Studios at Warner Bros. Discovery. This weekend, Disney and Marvel's "Fantastic Four: First Steps" fueled an estimated $118 million in ticket sales during its first three days in theaters. "The lesson is that if you build great movies, audiences will head to the multiplex," said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst at Comscore. Internationally, "Fantastic Four: First Steps" snared an estimated $100 million, bringing its global weekend haul to $218 million. "Marvel bet big releasing their long-awaited introduction of the Fantastic Four as the last MCU film to hit theaters for at least another year, and it's paying off," said Shawn Robbins, director of analytics at Fandango and founder of Box Office Theory. "The franchise has had its share of hiccups in recent years, but Marvel's First Family is winning over fans and spurring the kind of enthusiasm that could bring back casual viewers who sat out some post-'Endgame' chapters." Marvel has struggled in the wake of the record-breaking "Avengers: Endgame," the culmination of more than a decade of interconnected storytelling. While films like "Deadpool & Wolverine" and "Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 3" enticed moviegoers to theaters, others like "Captain America: Brave New World," "The Marvels" and "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania" failed to drum up the same enthusiasm. Box office hauls haven't been the only hit-or-miss for the studio. Marvel films have experienced significant fluctuations since the release of 2019's "Endgame." Previously, no MCU film had a Rotten Tomatoes score below 67%, meaning each had earned the title of "Fresh," indicating that critics had a generally positive view of the film. Since then, five films from the franchise have been below that metric and three of those were considered "Rotten," earning less than 50% positive reviews. This year, "Captain America: Brave New World" tallied $413 million globally and earned a 48% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. But "Thunderbolts*" generated just $382 million globally — one of only five titles under the Marvel Cinematic Universe banner to tally less than $400 million worldwide — it secured an 88% "Fresh" rating. Its newest theatrical entry, "Fantastic Four: First Steps," also has an 88% "Fresh" rating from the site. "For Disney, this has truly been a magical summer and for Marvel a reaffirmation that their strategy to revamp the brand is certainly working," Dergarabedian said. "With 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps' following in the footsteps of 'Thunderbolts*' Marvel is showing that a focus on quality rather than quantity is a recipe for success."

I'm 5 Feet Tall, and I'm Eyeing These 11 Petite Midi and Maxi Dresses at Amazon, Nordstrom, and More—From $20
As someone five-feet-tall, I know that shopping for a midi-length or maxi dress that won't drag on the ground is, well, a drag. Either you have to spend time (and money) tailoring it, or do some legwork to find stylish petite options from online retailers, considering the right size is rarely in stores. With a few summer vacations on my calendar, I opted for the latter option and browsed through my go-to petite brands to find flattering dresses that fit my frame perfectly. Naturally, I had to share my findings with my fellow petite shoppers, so I rounded up the best maxi and midi dress options from Amazon, Nordstrom, Anthropologie, and more. From a $29 travel-friendly knit dress to a European-summer-inspired maxi shirt dress, I found styles for every travel itinerary. Keep reading for 11 of my top picks, starting at $20. You'll never catch me in the airport in a dress above my knees, but now and then, I like to throw on a stylish, comfortable midi dress to elevate my travel look. This Gap ribbed knit option is perfect for exactly that, and with a $29 price tag, I immediately added it to my shopping cart. I opted for the olive green shade, which will seamlessly transition into fall, but it is also available in black, striped, and fuchsia. This sleeveless midi dress is effortlessly chic and looks much more expensive than its $35 price tag. The fitted top is made from a comfortable, smocked knit material, and it's paired with a puffed peplum skirt featuring a flattering drop waistline that helps make your torso appear longer—perfect for petite shoppers. Quince is known for its effortless travel clothing, and this midi tank dress is no exception. The travel-ready piece is made from a breathable, soft cotton blend. One five-foot-two reviewer wrote that "the dress is perfect," adding that it's "simple and sophisticated." This light and airy maxi dress captures the art of summer dressing. It is trimmed with lace detailing and features an embroidered design on the bodice. Now, the hard part is deciding between the classic black shade and the cottagecore-inspired indigo. Considering they're both on sale, I might have to snag both! While this midi dress isn't available in petite sizing, it has adjustable spaghetti straps that allow for a customizable fit. The fit-and-flare dress, which can be easily dressed up or down, features a fitted ribbed bodice with a low scoop back and a flowing skirt. This maxi dress features a similar design to the above option, with a fitted, tank top bodice and an airy skirt, but its high neckline provides a bit more coverage. One five-foot-tall reviewer wrote that it's a 'great length,' and added that they 'loved it so much,' they bought a second color. The best part? It's marked down to just $22 right now, so I'm not missing my opportunity to shop it while it's on sale. This Lands' End petite maxi dress is begging to be worn on a tropical vacation, and its airy, lightweight material will help keep you cool on a hot summer day. It features a stretchy, smocked elastic back and adjustable tie straps, providing additional length customization for the petite dress. I'm not headed to Europe this summer, but if I were, I could easily picture myself strolling the cobblestone streets of Paris in this top-rated breezy shirtdress from The shirred elastic waist provides shape to the flowy silhouette, and it comes with a slip lining underneath the subtly sheer overlay fabric. I can already tell this ultra-comfy jersey maxi dress would become one of my staple travel pieces. It features flattering details, such as a smoothing waistband and a deep V-neck. Plus, the pullover design makes it easy to throw on and go, whether I'm catching an early morning flight or making a quick change before dinner. I can't resist a perfectly tailored dress, and this petite Anthropologie number fits the bill. The casual yet elegant shirt dress features eye-catching details, including a classic collar, exaggerated sleeves, and flattering pleats around the bodice. Additionally, the button-up front allows for a customizable look that can be worn as a dress or paired over a pair of shorts and a classic white tee. This top-rated midi dress is made from a summery, lightweight linen material and has a smocked waistband with a tie at the center and capped sleeves. One reviewer raved that it's 'very flattering and comfortable,' and a five-foot-three shopper wrote that 'the length is perfect.' Right now, the midi is an additional 40 percent off, bringing the price down to $84. Love a great deal?

Spice Girl Melanie C stuns on romantic island getaway with Australian model boyfriend
Spice Girl Melanie C – aka Sporty Spice – looks as fit as ever in these candid new vacation photos. The 90s pop legend, 51, escaped to the island of Mallorca for a romantic getaway with her partner, Australian actor and model Chris Dingwall. Advertisement The loved-up pair each shared a carousel of photos from the vacation on Instagram, with Melanie looking absolutely ripped in a tiny two-piece black bikini – and in another snap, relaxing on a boat while reading a book about the history of ecstasy use in dance music. 4 Spice Girl Melanie C shared photos from her romantic vacation with model Chris Dingwall. @melaniecmusic / Instagram Fans and friends were full of praise for the star in the comments section. 'Seeing Melanie look this healthy and happy melts my heart,' one longtime fan wrote. Advertisement 'Gorgeous to see you so happy and relaxed,' wrote UK broadcaster Kate Thornton. 'You're both so cute together. Love seeing you enjoying moments of love,' another fan gushed. 4 The pop singer captioned her Instagram carousel 'a slice of paradise.' @melaniecmusic / Instagram Dingwall is originally from Sydney but travels the world as a model signed to Ford Models and Chadwick. Advertisement The pair went public at Wimbledon in London last July, days after they were spotted walking hand-in-hand at the iconic Glastonbury festival. But they had been quietly dating for months before that: Melanie's frequent visits to our shores earlier in 2024, ostensibly for DJing gigs, also doubled as quality time with Dingwall as the pair shared romantic getaways in resorts across Brisbane, Byron Bay and the Whitsundays. 4 The 90s pop icon showed off her toned body in the photos. @melaniecmusic / Instagram Since those early days the pair have become more open about their relationship, with Melanie C even professing her 'love' for Dingwall on social media in January after he wished her a happy 51st birthday. Advertisement Furthering her Aussie connection, Melanie C will soon appear as one of the celeb coaches on the next season of Seven's music contest The Voice alongside Ronan Keating, Richard Marx and Kate Miller-Heidke. She was based in Bondi while she lived here to film the season, and also made a surprise appearance at a Sydney gay club in April, filming scenes for a new music video. 4 The couple first went public in July 2024. @melaniecmusic / Instagram Melanie C is undoubtedly the most private of the five Spice Girls when it comes to her love life, largely keeping her relationships out of the public eye since a string of romances with high-profile musicians. She has a teenage daughter from a longtime relationship with ex-partner Thomas Starr. The pair split in 2012 after a decade together. After that, Melanie dated her manager, Joe Marshall, for seven years before they split in 2022.
