About the show
Te Irirangi in the far north of New Zealand, 1998. An American corporate fixer drives into a coastal town to sort out a "problem" at a satellite station - only "problem" doesn't even begin to describe it. There's a body on the beach, a Koestler Industries cover-up, a government military conspiracy, an unexpectedly sentient AI, and a Taniwha who wants him dead. Also, terrible mobile signal, and you can't get a latte.
Ninety-six episodes of rural noir, 90s tech paranoia, small-town soap opera, and supernatural thriller. Northern Exposure meets Stranger Things in fax-machine-era small-town New Zealand.
Originally broadcast on Newstalk ZB; winner of Best Dramatic Production, 1999 NZ Radio Awards.
