    Black Snow

    Just started watching this series on Acorn (may be available elsewhere too).

    3 episodes in and I'm hooked. After episode 2 I Googled Vanuatu and the history of sugar cane plantations in Australia which made episode 3 even more interesting.

    This is a cold case show. The detective is great. His character has some emotional depth that could be a show in itself.

    Finished the series last night and I can say with conviction that the murderer was not on my bingo card.

    Onto season 2!

    I've not seen him before. Really liked his character in this show. A bit whacked but with good depth.

    Don't watch him in Raised By Wolves, or Foundation ...... pretentiously creepy. Not his fault, he was written that way.

    If you're interested in a more in depth understanding of the complex relationships in this show and a definition of some of the terms they use when discussing the tense history between the south sea islanders and the colonists Google "what is blackbirding in Australia." It will open up an understanding of the underlying story line.

    I thought this thread was going to be about late-80's department store snowboards.
