A Remarkable Place to Die

This series was an absolute delight from start to finish, offering a captivating storyline that kept me thoroughly engaged throughout. The exceptional performances delivered by the cast were nothing short of extraordinary, bringing depth and authenticity to each character in ways that truly resonated with viewers like myself. While the final episode took some creative risks, it showcased the show's boldness and willingness to leave a lasting impression on its audience. Though certain plotlines remained open-ended, this approach added an intriguing layer of mystery and invited fans to reflect on the characters' journeys long after the credits rolled. It's clear that every detail was crafted with care, as evidenced by the breathtaking scenery that elevated key moments within the narrative. Additionally, the undeniable talent of the actors shone brightly, leaving no doubt about their ability to immerse us fully into the world of the series. Overall, this experience has been incredibly rewarding, reminding me why I fell in love with storytelling in the first place-it's not just about resolutions but also about sparking imagination and connection through artistry.

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 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 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.
