Detective Senior Sergeant Mike Shepherd (Neill Rea, Go Girls) arrives on assignment in Brokenwood, a small town where memories-and animosities- run deep. He's an experienced cop with a 1971 "classic" car, a collection of country music cassettes, and an indeterminate number of ex-wives. The new woman in his life is his assistant, Detective Kristin Sims (Fern Sutherland, The Almighty Johnsons), a by-the-book investigator nearly 20 years younger than her boss's car, who quickly has to get used to his lone-wolf ways.

As Shepherd adapts to the slower pace of life away from the city, he soon discovers that Brokenwood is a place of secrets and suspicions. Everyone and everything is connected, and the serenity of the countryside can easily be shattered by violence and death.

Filmed amid the beautiful landscape of New Zealand's North Island, these four feature-length mysteries show that murder can haunt even the most idyllic locations.

Review :
Toodle-pip!
If you go by mystery TV shows, then just about every city or town in America and the UK has elaborately-murdered corpses cropping up all over the place.

So why should New Zealand be denied the fun? Hence we get "The Brokenwood Mysteries," which focuses on a pleasant little down in the land of the long white cloud that just happens to have a number of mysterious corpses. While the first season of this series isn't dramatically different from other shows like "Midsomer Murders," it has a pleasantly languid air and a quirky side that sets it apart.

In "Blood and Water," Detective Inspector Mike Shepherd (Neill Rea) is sent to the rural town of Brokenwood to investigate an alcoholic farmer found dead in the river. Since the dead man was commonly considered to be an abusive beast who probably murdered his own wife, everyone assumes that he simply committed suicide... but Shepherd isn't convinced. As he digs deeper into the town's ugly little...
This New Zealand crime drama really drew me in. It has not been shown on US TV (yet)- NO SPOILERS in this review
I'm a huge fan of what are called "procedural crime shows", where a crime is committed and you watch the detective (or police officer) solve the crime by putting the pieces together. Some of the best are those produced for British, Australian or Canadian TV. This may be the first one from New Zealand that I've seen. It snuck up on my and I was hooked.

If you've read my other "TV mystery" reviews, you know that I do not believe in "spoilers" so you won't find any in this review and I'll try to provide info that will help you decide if the show is for you, but not spoil any of the enjoyment. (After all, it wouldn't be a "mystery" then, would it?)
The series aired in New Zealand in 2014 and may, or may not, have had commercials. Each of the four episodes runs from 91 to 95 minutes and each is on a separate DVD. Each story uses the same format: A murder is committed in the opening moments and nearly always has at least three obvious...
Charming, not brilliant.

This is a perfectly charming, though not brilliant, police procedural. The lead detective is quirky, the pretty girl sergeant is smart and not a bit afraid of her boss. The locale is New Zealand, so don't expect to understand a word they say without captioning, as the New Zealand accent is unique and absolutely not a bit OZ-like. (Well, maybe a bit.) The point is, it is a lot of fun, well made, interesting characters, interesting crimes. More "Midsommer Murders" than "Foyle's War," but that ain't a bad thing. Watch it.
