Every murder on The Brokenwood Mysteries, ranked and reviewed

The fictional town of Brokenwood is a peaceful rural idyll where you are almost guaranteed to get murdered on arrival. For seven seasons – soon to be eight when the show returns to TVNZ1 this weekend – the sleepy spot has hosted a slew of surprising murder scenes, each grisly mystery neatly solved by the crime fighting team of detectives Mike Shepherd, Kristen Sims, Daniel Chalmers and Sam Breen (RIP) within the feature-length runtime.
