A Remarkable Place to Die

This is a good show, it builds slowly but has a thread running through it that holds your attention well. I'm just disappointed that only four episodes have been released so far as it left a huge cliff hanger, just when we were getting the answers we needed. Nice range of established NZ actors and new comers too. The scenery of New Zealand's South Island is just exquisite, it becomes another character in the show. I like the 90 minutes episode format, it gives a lot of time to build for the storyline of the episode and the running thread. I will look out for the next lot of episodes to be released.

I enjoyed the first episode very much. The New Zealand scenery is a huge bonus and the South Island of such great beauty, it adds to the atmosphere. I enjoy seeing different actors rather than the UK and USA actors I so often watch. I have seen Ms. Gibney in other series and she is always a great addition . There was a mystery to solve but also an ongoing one that will tie things and people to the plot line. And no car chases at least not yet. I certainly will continue with season one as it becomes available and hope for more. Chelsie Preston Crawford is most convincing in the role of Anais Mallory.

Thank you Acorn TV for another wonderful mystery series. I'm picky about mystery series. If I can figure out who-done-it in the first five minutes, I'll lose interest fast. This series is wonderful since it solves a mystery with each episode, but has an ongoing additional mystery that flows throughout the season.

I really like all of the main characters and they're portrayed as normal human beings with admiral qualities and flaws. Constable Jarrod's character adds a touch of humor and sympathy with his bumbling and inexperience. Jarrod's character reminds me of Sgt. Troy from Midsomer Murders.

The main thing I would change about this show is the elimination of the "F" bomb from all the scripts. It's completely unnecessary and far too reminiscent of the garbage Hollywood slops to the public. Certainly Acorn TV is miles above that. What's the point of walking in the gutter if you don't have to. I would also make the fight scenes a touch more realistic for the main character, but this is a small item.

Good stories, nice twists and turns, great character development, beautiful scenery, and surprising who-done-its, plus good acting. This is what good television is meant to be. Thanks Acorn!

I really enjoyed this show for the most part. My biggest complaint is they make Mallory into an idiot. She makes choices, and And says things that only make her look incompetent. She loses her temper constantly. And she is obsessive about things that make her again look like a bad cop and that she has no business on this case.

The scenery is unbelievably beautiful. And it truly makes me want to go to New Zealand. All the other actors are great. I've seen them multiple times from the series the Brokenwood mysteries.

Everyone else is excellent. I think if the show gets a second season and the crime is not personal then Mallory could be a better character.

A good ongoing mystery (terrible title) but the mystery wasn't resolved. I was waiting for another episode to see who killed Maja. Harry (who seemed to be dating Veronica) was definitely a bad guy, but what did he do? He's obviously up to no good, but he disappeared in the end and we see Maja in the enclosure supposedly dead. What exactly happened? Who killed her? Was it her husband or Harry or the guy who killed the man who killed Anais' father and sister? Too many bad guys to keep track of. I was very confused. If this was supposed to be cliffhanger it was not a very good one. I keep checking to see if another episode will show up.
