Far North

2023 · 1 season

A breezy, wry caper that coasts on the charm of ordinary folks outwitting hapless crooks, easy to sink into and quietly satisfying.

Overview: The (mostly) true story of how the most comically inept gang to ever join forces got half a billion dollars' worth of meth to New Zealand shores - and nearly to market. And they would have got away with it too, if it wasn't for a pesky 70-year-old Māori diesel mechanic and his aqua-aerobics instructing wife!
How it feels: Light, satirical, warm and tense. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Crime, family, class, deception
Content: Strong language. Mild violence and sexual content. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
