A Remarkable Place to Die

I loved the slow build. People want everything served up in a neat, fast package. The real goal is to enjoy the storytelling and the journey to the end. I can't wait for episode 2. Hopefully there will be more than 4 episodes.

The scenery was amazing as well. Definitely added to the story. Acting was good at all levels. I don't believe there was a supporting character that wasn't believable . Which sadly isn't the case with a lot of shows anymore. Usually there's an actor that's cringe worthy or they've built an absurd character into the show on purpose. Either way it distracts from the show and that wasn't the case here.

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.

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.

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.

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.
