The Dead Lands

I cannot understand the low rating given to this series? I've watched the first two episodes and i find it more engaging and entertaining than most of the formulaic tripe offered up at the moment. It's a refreshingly original storyline set in pre-european New Zealand. So far the plot line convincingly conveys the universal story of honour and redemption from a moari perspective, with a bit of humour thrown in for good measure. I'm finding the characters are well developed and engaging to the extent that after only two episodes I'm empathetic with the the evolving and converging plot lines of the two main actors. To top it off the cinematography and scenery are brilliant. Can't wait for the next episode

Do not be fooled by the low score.. This show is awesome ! The cinematography is magnificent, and the camera shots of New Zealand are breath taking ( Great directing too ! )....The story is not typical Hollywood recycle.. This story has great depth, and comes from a folktale that is rather inspiring, in regard to redemption, honor, justice, and victory over evil.... With so many drab, dismal uninspiring shows these days i find this refreshing...This is a Supernatural Thriller/Horror/Drama with two very charismatic leads...Give it a chance, and you will be hooked......

High quality filmed Fantasy action horror involving Maori warriors First episode is pretty good Shot in beautiful locations

This show is great. The location looks good, the acting is good, the story is easy to get into and stay with. An action packed Moari take on the undead that plays out well and displays the culture and story telling at the same time.

Cool story line, epic scenery and the right amount of attitude. I really enjoyed this, with so many sub par horrors that have been coming out lately that always throw the same old ideas around has just become the norm almost. But this felt like a breath of fresh air. It seems steeped in traditional New Zealand/Polynesian folklore and legend. AND. ZOMBIES!!!! Couldn't get a much more eclectic and unique take on the dead heads.
