'The Brokenwood Mysteries' Holiday Pop-UP Collectible, DVD Review

Christmas is on the way in Brokenwood and the celebrations have begun. The mayor once again is dressed up like Santa Claus as he does for the Christmas parade. Unfortunately this time mayor Evan Whitestone is still at home sitting in his chair and this year he has been murdered. Detective Shephard (Neill Rea) and Detective Sims (Fern Sutherland) have been called  to investigate the murder.  At first they believe that he was killed because the Mayoral Elections are coming and god knows Whitestone had some enemies. Actually there were many people who had grudges with the mayor. Then as the investigation proceeded more deaths began to take place thus making the detectives believe there was a darker motive at foot. This fan favorite actually was shown back in the series third season but this year it was brought back in a collectible pop-up version for this years Christmas Season.

The pop-up is actually Shephard and Sims and looks quite nice. Brokenwood has been a fan favorite coming from New Zealand. But one must admit this is possibly the best Christmas episode they ever made. It definitely is one of the bloodiest.  Acorn brings this holiday collectible to us on DVD this October 15th, 2019. The DVD quality is excellent and the sights and sounds are superb. If you haven’t pick this episode up in the past you will certainly want to do so now. This is definitely one for that personal library or it would be a great gift for that someone special.

So sit back this Christmas and watch Detective Shephard and Detective Sims break the case of the 'Merry Bloody Christmas' in Brokenwood. Find out who is terrorizing the community and leaving dead bodies all over the place. Find out who wanted to murder Mayor Whitestone in such a gruesome way especially while he was dressed as Santa Claus. Enjoy the holidays in Brokenwood and have bloody good time watching.
