THE BROKENWOOD MYSTERIES, Series 4, Episode 1 (Exclusive U.S. Premiere) (Trailer)

Called "Must-see TV... Awesome" (British TV Place) and 'Wild Applause' rating... "Compelling" (San Francisco Chronicle), the hit New Zealand detective drama returns for four more feature-length mysteries. Despite the growing accord between the mismatched pair of DSS Mike Shepherd (Neill Rea, Go Girls) and his methodical young assistant, Detective Kristin Sims (Fern Sutherland, The Almighty Johnsons), all is not well in Brokenwood, where passions simmering beneath the sleepy surface regularly erupt into gruesome crimes. Filmed amid the beautiful landscape of New Zealand's North Island, the hit series features compelling characters, dry humor, and piquant wit. Series 4 mysteries involve a fatal skydiving 'accident', the death of the curator of the town's historic village, a poisoned farmer, and the murder of a corrupt financier with a Samurai sword.
