The Sounds

After episode 8 we are left hanging. This show get very good around episode 6.

I love this series and the shots of New Zealand are great. There's a lot going on which keeps me glued to the tv, lots of secrets!! Not many familiar actors, but it's great to see Rachelle Lafevre in another series. The acting is believable and good.

Started off a little slow but that is to be expected. Got really good in the middle. Found the story about Zoe and drugs to be a little boring. Was really excited to see how episode 8 would be, but found it to be a little soft. It did have some moving scenes with Pania and Ru which were very well done. Lot's of unanswered questions and if there is no season 2 then all this would have been just a cheap teaser.

Episode 1 started off a little slow and disjointed, but things start to get very interesting from episode 2 onward. Right from the outset you get the feeling Maggie's possibly not being honest with those around her regarding the "disappearance" of her husband Tom (?). Something is up, and I'm intrigued to see where the deception will lead to. Things take a darker turn in Episode 3 which has left me hanging on for more weekly episodes. The locations are stunning, beautifully shot, and the haunting score had me in tears during a particular scene in episode 3. Fantastic cast made up of both New Zealand and Canadian talent. Newcomer Anna-Maree Thomas who plays Zoe is brilliant. Recommended.

Really enjoyed the whole series with the different twists and turns in the different characters stories. And loved seeing more of New Zealand. The ending leaves you a bit flat like there were plans for a second series but even as a one off show it's good.
