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

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.

The people writing negative reviews must enjoy only mindless super hero shows like The Flash or The Arrow that are full of just drama. This show actually has a story to it and interesting characters. I have watched up to episode four and have enjoyed every episode. You can tell it is low budget for sure, but the acting and filming is fine.

It is worth a try, if you don't like it, no real loss but a few minutes of your time at trying something new. Think of it this way, at least it is not another remake, reboot or sequel. Hollywood loves all three of those and rarely gives something new a try.

Why the bad reviews? This series offers a new and interesting tale of culture and tradition. I love the new take on the UNDEAD. Actors are very believable allowing you to suspend belief and be immersed in the tale. Scenery is beautiful. I LOVE it.

Very interesting new show; intriguing story and good acting; they should have released the whole season though.
