The Blue Rose

It's hard for me to remember anything except Antonia Prebble's face. She sums up the past and present with a pursed lip and a turned cheek.

Think of it like a New Zealand version of Leverage but not as clever. Entertaining In it's own way though.

... a mediocre enough production to watch solely because of the two main lead actors Marshall & Prebble... otherwise the script is the culprit.. never rising above fairly bland-uninteresting definitely-not-requiring thirteen episodes... culminating with an ending doing little to satisfy viewers... overall viewer-reviews-ratings being very kind.

I watched the entire series and found it quite enjoyable. Yes, there's a few times where you have to suspend disbelief but the story pace and mystery keeps you watching. I found one unanswered plot element but I may need to rewatch to see if I missed it. The characters were great overall. Some were not given enough depth but I think that was on purpose and it did not keep me from enjoying the series. It's a mix of caper-whodunnit with some comedic elements and female heroics.

I came across this by accident and thoroughly enjoyed it. I can't understand the negative reviews some people gave it. If you're looking for a fast slam bang series this isn't it, but the characters are fun. It's not typical Hollywood dreck, it's different, occasionally funny sometimes frustrating and overall a good watch.
