I liked it when the detective hero loses a fight with a passing teenager right at the start. Refreshing not to have the lead character a super-hero who outfights everyone.
We then get a glimpse of New Zealand society. In particular the life of the Maori.
How they were ill-treated in the past, and are still far from equal.
And also real imperfect characters. Different from each other.
We start with one mystery, and then several more crop up.
The season ends with at least one mystery cleared up. More for Season two, I assume.
And some excellent scenery. Places where real people are living and having complex lives.
