His second in-command Detective Kristin Sims (Fern Sutherland), who still can’t make a good cup of coffee, has a enjoyable dry sense of humor with a “roll of her eye” that says much. The crime, of course, is the center, but orbiting is a very experienced detective squad, wildly entertaining and just the team you want to forge through the clues to find the culprit, usually a murderer.ĭetective Senior Sergeant Mike Shepherd (Neill Rea) whose love of country music (often part of the soundtrack), his vintage Kingswood sedan, and love life, may be part of the story, but it’s his commitment to his job through rational, introspective insights and often greeting the unfortunate victim with a “we’ll find the killer” promise that sets him apart from others in the pantheon of detectives. The Brokenwood Mysteries, a personal favorite, is still going strong finishing its ninth season, a tenth season soon to begin filming, making an art of clever, quirky, and often surprising murder mysteries. I am an eclectic fan enjoying the quirky comedies, intense dramas, informative documentaries, and my favorite, engaging detective mysteries, of which, The Brokenwood Mysteries is a Kiwi Gem.
