As with many other highly entertaining titles to have come out from the brilliant minds of our mates from Australia and New Zealand, this one stands out for several reasons.
Firstly, the ensemble cast meshes together so perfectly that when they start finishing each others sentences as scripted, it comes across as genuine and believable. Secondly, the writing and stories are unique enough and so rich in detail that they come across as completely authentic. Lastly, the mysteries themselves are just complicated enough to keep you guessing and second guessing all the way to the end. I thought I was pretty clever when I correctly identified the killer in the first episode. Yet, now thru season 4, I've yet to be able to finger the culprit even once more.
If you like a great mystery, well written with lots of twists and turns as well as colorful characters populating a simply stunning locale, I can confidently recommend you visit the quirky world of Brokenwood.
