A Remarkable Place to Die

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.

I am always looking for a new show that holds my attention and makes me want more when I'm up to date on my watching, and was delighted to find this show. So many times, I watch two or three episodes and I'm bored. That didn't happen with this show. The New Zealand landscape is breathtaking. The characters are well filled out. This show fits the bill. Spectacular cast and very good story line. Hopefully many more seasons to come. I think they have a winner here. Chelsie Preston Crayford was unknown to me, and she is really spectacular in this role. Matt Whelan is great as her partner. There's not a character on this show that was poorly cast. Thank you for this.

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.

This series is extremely slow to catch on to and the beginning of it hard to get the plot line. First of all, it's surprising that Queenstown has so many murders in just a small town in the middle of New Zealand. Then its obvious what the overall plot line is in the second episode and the third is finally a good well worth watching whole episode. The final episode ties up some of the very very loose ends and is quite gripping in places but spoiled at the very end when there is really no completion and "sewing up" of the overall plot. Also no aftermath, no real cliffhanger to lead on to another series. Not a complete waste of time if nothing else to do but not one to watch if you want real drama and plot line like I think only the Brits and Aussies can do.
