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 officers, Leon, Audrey and Inspector Kerry Vincent, head of the TR administration. It explores both the working and personal lives of the team.

Most of the episodes involve at least one main plot, with one or two smaller subplots throughout each episode. In some cases, they will focus on one plot, while the personal lives tend to fall into the form of smaller subplots that span over a number of episodes. Usually the team is divided into two, one team per case, with the team taking the minor subplot meeting up with the major team at some stage throughout the episode. The usual six-person team is split between two vehicles, TR01 and TR02.

According to both the Film Victoria and Screen Australia's websites, season four of Rush will see Kerry promoted to Deputy Commissioner and there will be a more in-depth focus on the character's personal lives.[2]

Production

The pilot for Rush, originally titled Rapid Response, was filmed in 2004 and based on an earlier Police Rescue script.[3] The pilot featured several characters and cast who did not return for the series, including Matthew Le Nevez, Libby Tanner and Corinne 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.[4]

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.[5] Jolene Anderson joined the cast for the second series, from 16 July 2009.[6][7] The series is filmed in Victoria in both regional and metropolitan areas.

A third season of Rush was announced by Channel Ten on 25 September 2009. It premiered in the time-slot of 8.30pm on the 22nd of July 2010.[8]

A thirteen-episode fourth season was confirmed by Channel Ten's Executive Producer of Drama and Production, Rick Maier on November 12, 2010. He stated "Rush continues to deliver great stories, great stunts and some of the best performances on TV".[9] Filming for the fourth season begins on May 6 2011.[10]
