Good enough. No superlatives here. I'm a little weary of lead detectives with scrubby beards, pot bellies and rumpled clothes. Stories kept me watching. Have to say that Fern Sutherland has a lovely complexion.

Wow. I stumbled across this New Zealand-based mystery series & I have never looked back. The mysteries & team dynamic is on par with British mysteries (my gold standard). Watch season 1 & see for yourself if you do not fall in love with…

I'll admit I was not crazy about the pilot, but when I could find nothing else to watch months later, I gave it another shot. I love this series. I love the quirky characters, the humor, the interplay between Mike and his staff and pretty…

This is a great mystery series set in New Zealand. The characters are charming, the crimes are more intricate then other mysteries, and plots are peppered with humor. Very addictive.

Contrary to most viewers' reaction, I found "The Brokenwood Mysteries" kinda dumb. I admit I watched only episode 1, but it did not pique my interest enough to keep me watching.

A pretty good British crime drama a series. Keeps you guessing and entertained. Good acting.

Engaging, yes. Full of twists, yes. It will keep you guessing right till the end, yes. However, it should give a hint here and there. Detective Inspector Mike Shepherd should never solve a case as if out of the blue, but it looks like he…

A fun series set in a small town in New Zealand. Sound track by an amazing Canadian-born country singer named Tami Neilson who is popular in New Zealand. Who knew!

A little bit complex, a little bit camp, and thoroughly enjoyable. Characters develop well in several ways, some quirky and most fun. Great showcase of various things New Zealand, at least to this outsider. We tend to watch half an episode…

Well worth watching. I will get on the wait list for season 2.

This is pretty good, just having difficulties with the country music. Having to listen to country music is becoming an issue do I want to watch a half descent program and listen o country music? Or skip it? Other than that I have enjoyed…

pretty good after you get used to the NZ "ek scent".

The characters are great - I am really enjoying this series. I have to run it w/subtitles to follow some of the accents.

I’m always looking for new mysteries and was hoping to find this interesting but it was not despite unusual setting n

A delightful murder mystery romp through the New Zealand countryside. Excellent characters, especially the supporting cast.

I had just discovered this series couple weeks ago by picking up series 2. I enjoyed it so I had to start at the beginning to see how the characters developed . Some commentor compared it to Midsummer murders New Zealand style. It doesn't…

The show got better as the series progressed. I enjoyed watching the extra material (interview with the two leads and the writer talking about the show).

Beautiful scenery of New Zealand is the backdrop for this well-acted, well-directed detective series. Very good acting and good scripts--a bit like an Agatha Christie story with a touch of Colombo. Set in about 2015, a big-city detective…

It is a pretty good series. The actors do a good job and the stories are ok. The characters do grow on you.

The plots are trite; the acting second rate. A disappointment.

Enjoyable quirky series.

Difficult accent to become accustomed to hearing. Entertaining series to watch. The music is annoying, twangy country western.
