This quirky New Zealand mystery follows DI Mike Shepherd, who arrives to the seemingly peaceful town of Brokenwood with a classic car, a country music collection, and an indeterminate number of ex-wives. His assistant, DC Kristin Sims, is a by-the-book investigator 15 years younger than her boss's car. Shepherd soon discovers that Brokenwood is full of secrets and suspicions.
EPISODE GUIDE:
Episode 1: “Blood and Water” - airs Saturday, Aug. 23 at 9 p.m. on KPBS 2. When the body of a local farmer is fished out of the river, Shepherd wonders if it was suicide, accidental death, or something more sinister. The man was a well-known drunk with a reputation for violence, and many in town might have a motive to do him harm. However, the inspector starts to believe the answer to the case may lie in an unsolved 10-year-old murder.
Episode 2: “Sour Grapes” - Saturday, Aug. 30 at 9 p.m. on KPBS 2. The morning after choosing the winner of the annual Brokenwood wine show, a guest judge is found dead in one of the loser's vats of fermenting Pinot noir. The vintner in question is more concerned with another "crime"-the tampering with her wine before the show. Shepherd and Sims suspect the same criminal was responsible for both offenses.
Episode 3: “Playing The Lie” - Saturday, Sept. 6 at 9 p.m. on KPBS 2 - Four of the five committee members of Brokenwood Golf Club start on their regular morning round-only to find the horribly disfigured body of the fifth, in a bunker near the first green.
