The Ridge , Set in NZ North of Auckland is a great physiological drama .
Fills the screen with stunning scenery set in small town NZ & Scotland .
Though tbh it’s mostly NZ .
We binged all 6 episodes last night & is well worth watching 👌📺

I started it but could not get past the “Hill Street Blues” style, zoom in, zoom out, crash pan, sick making, camera work. Gave up after the first minute.

I thought it was terrible. I had to turn it off. Totally unbelievable script, badly acted. The groom didn't look bothered that his bride to be had just died and the sister was also non believable! a load of tosh in my opinion!

TerriBull. It’s Auckland which is North Island. My family lived South Auckland and I found it beautiful
Well worth watching for scenery alone.

On the other hand, 9 corpses in a Mexican morgue is great.

I've watched 2 episodes and I can't make my mind up. If it doesn't improve by episode 3, I'm giving up.
