THE BROKENWOOD MYSTERIES, Series 5, Episode 1, Scared to Death (Exclusive U.S./Canada Premiere)

"Must-see TV... Awesome... Mike Shepherd is an immensely likable guy... Easy-going, intelligent, and depending on the situation, funny or downright witty." -British TV Place

Acorn TV's New Zealand detective series is filmed amid the beautiful landscape of New Zealand's North Island, and returns with four feature-length, standalone mysteries featuring compelling characters, dry humor, and piquant wit. After transferring from a big city to the small town of Brokenwood, Detective Senior Sergeant Mike Shepherd (Neill Rea, Go Girls) works cases alongside methodical young assistant, Detective Kristin Sims (Fern Sutherland, The Almighty Johnsons). In Series 5, the detectives investigate a death on a ghost train ride at a carnival, a bride found dead following her bachelorette party, a suspicious death of a cyclist, and a murder at an old mental health asylum.
