This is a beautiful sweet cinematic gorgeous show with great acting interesting stories and dynamic families. It's also fun just getting a little look at New Zealand and Maori culture. It's is a teen/family horse show, but for that it has again great story set and acting. And the horses are beautiful and shots of riding is really good. And it has supernatural elements which I found really interesting. It does has a lot of drama, some unnecessary conflict from people simply not calling each other right away, but for the most part they actually make that make sense in the world. And despite all these factors, the show feels very grounded and realistic. The best part though is that even though ALL the characters make bad choices and cause hurt, THEY ALL always apologize fully and sincerely-and that's so refreshing to see in a show that is about horses and drama. More shows need to show people being accountable, and giving and receiving forgiveness and reconciling despite mistakes from selfishness.
