The Bad Seed

Gripping, beautifully shot. Exceptional direction, writing and acting. This is the first NZ drama that I have been excited about in maybe a decade. I am totally enthralled and don't want it to end.

At the time of writing this I am dumbfounded as to who could have given it such poor IMDB rating, competitors maybe? Because this is world class and I hope it travels well overseas. The final episode was a little weaker than the rest, and interestingly was directed by someone else other than the two main directors. I think that was a mistake, as it wasn't as good as the other 4 eps, and not as well wrapped up, with things playing out too conveniently and easily.

Overall, highly recommended binge watching with lots of twists and turns.

I feel bad for the actors having to perform that tripe of a script.

This is a soap opera, not a thriller mystery show! You can see where things going from 'start to finish'. So saying that it was't even a good soap opera. If this is one of the first home grown product from New Zealand things need to be worked upon, as this is poor to start among with!

Thought this program was very good. The acting was good and would recommend for other people to watch. Good storyline as well.

The plot was so predictable I actually noticed how bad the costumes were.
