I enjoyed this drama and loved the Maori characters and depiction of their culture, which was really interesting. This blended well with the natural humour of the Irish, and I enjoyed the friendship that developed between enigmatic Irish detective Richter and the Maori character Buster.
I loved Diana and thought she was a great character, gelling well with Richter as they investigated the disappearance of two young Irish people. Always good to see Michelle Fairley in anything, and I really liked Carolyn Bracken as the Irish journalist (with such a cool look!).
Some loose ends that were confusing, e.g. The scientist's wife finding a box of bone crosses - why did he have them?
The ending, where the journalist is in the abandoned log cabin, was creepy and leaves you hoping for a second series. Also, Richter's story was left open - he has the gene for an awful disease but does that mean he will actually get it or that he's just a carrier?
The stunning NZ scenery and great use of music adds to the appeal.
I hope this will be given a second series because it was very different and I'd like to see more of these characters and definitely more of the beautiful locations.
