I've never really thought much about New Zealand, despite the fact that many cultural figures have come from there and, say, their role in WW2. I have visited Australia and know how very different that is from the United States, not least in terms of landscape. But I found that in Sydney people were quite a bit different than in the "wine country" I visited just north of there -- people were culturally very similar to the small town America I was familiar with. This show purports to show a small town that is very much like that, with the addition of the Maoris integrated into society.
All this intro aside, I love this series, as it both very funny, with engaging and believable characters, but also has believable and clever murder mysteries. I haven't really found a false note yet, and hope it can go on and on -- I've burned through the first three "series" or seasons and can only root for more. Highly recommended!
score 10/10
