Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })An Australian comedy series beginning in 2010 about the antics of an irascible, hedonistic, self-destructive lawyer operating in central Sydney - Mr. Cleaver Greene, portrayed by Richard Roxburgh.Rake is a black comedy set within the justice system of New South Wales and its capital, Sydney. Each episode revolves around peculiar or well-publicized court cases that grab Cleaver's attention. In addition to his rebellion against the justice system, there are ongoing subplots about his relationship with ex-prostitute "Missy", his ongoing battle against the Australian Tax Office, his gambling debts to dubious underworld gangsters, and the dissolving relationship between Barney and Scarlet - his fellow lawyers and best friends from university.The series is noted for its well-written episodes (they manage to avoid most of the legal jargon seen in other court shows), and strong acting (with plenty of guest stars every episode).Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })In January 2014, a US remake starring Greg Kinnear began airing on the Fox network, but only lasted one season. | |

| Rake / int_23698fa8 | comment |
Aborted Arc: A few. Missy becomes a world-famous author and socialite, but she then is abruptly driven back to Australia and cocaine addiction. Missy passes law, but she never actually practices ever again. Season 3 ends with the problem that Barney's cancer has come back and he's probably not going to make it a second time. In Season 4, Barney is fine and referred to as a "miracle"...that occurred offscreen. | |

Abuse Mistake | |
| Rake / int_3cc3ed1d | comment |
Abuse Mistake: Cleaver accidentally injures Felicity three times in a row, making the police understandably suspicious, though she assures them he didn't do this on purpose. | |

Accidental Misnaming | |
| Rake / int_af616e40 | comment |
Accidental Misnaming / Malicious Misnaming: The Running Gag that Cleaver can never remember anyone's name straddles these tropes. On the "malicious" side is probably Harry-Sorry-David, while the genuinely accidental (because he's never listening) is Nicole's one-time fiancee/husband Bevan. | |
