'A Remarkable Place To Die'


I stumbled on this 4-part 2024 crime thriller on Amazon Prime: turned out it's one of the best things I've watched in a while.

Each episode is around 90 minutes long, equivalent to a full length feature film.

I wonder why the creators chose to take that approach as opposed to the more conventional 8-part/45-minute-long route.

Great cast, none of whom I'd ever seen before.

It's set around Queenstown on the South Island of New Zealand and it's total eye candy: spectacular vistas and surroundings.

Six-part Season 2 is scheduled to premiere later this year.

FunFact: I went to New Zealand for three weeks in 1982 and was dazzled by its beauty and its emptiness: it was rare to see another car on rural roads and highways.

I doubt that's still the case: 44 years passing will do that.
