The Brokenwood Mysteries (Seasons 1–12)

The Brokenwood Mysteries is a New Zealand crime series you can watch online on iFILM — all 12 seasons, 60 episodes, each running 90 minutes. Produced by South Pacific Pictures for TVNZ 1, the show has been running since 2014 and is still in production. Neill Rea plays Detective Inspector Mike Shepherd, a veteran cop who lands in the small rural town of Brokenwood and quickly discovers that its placid surface hides a body count.

Shepherd is not an easy man to work with: he ignores hierarchy, talks too much and somehow gets confessions out of people who've already lawyered up. His partner, DC Kristin Sims (Fern Sutherland), operates by the book and finds his methods maddening — which is precisely why the pairing works. Dr. Gina Kadinsky rounds out the team as the forensic pathologist who rarely runs out of material.

Each episode tells a self-contained case, but the characters deepen across seasons. It's a procedural built around place as much as plot — vineyards, rolling hills and a community where everyone eventually becomes a suspect. Stream all seasons of The Brokenwood Mysteries online on iFILM.
