    Totally implausible writing

    I initially thought this miniseries was going to be great. The initial 30 minutes of episode 1 was as good as any BBC crime drama but it went downhill from that point quickly. So many things in the storyline are implausible that I found it a bit cringeworthyin in the end. The acting and production was good for a NZ TV show but ultimately the script had so many holes in it that I can't recommend it.

    Imminently watchable

    Enjoyed it so much - well written and suprisingly well acted. The killer could be anyone of three people.

    good show

    I like most of the NZ shows. This one included. Thought they made the police woman a bit dumb though. Would love to see more of these shows come out of NZ.. Thanks so much to who ever downloaded these episodes

    Totally predictable

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

    Illogical and poor storyline

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