    Yes i know, a 10?.. not quite.
    this show seriously needed its score boosting. I think its only fair to give something a real review after watching the entire series/story arc. This show was a surprising hit for me showing that BBC are not afraid to explore something totally new. loved the supernatural side of this show as well as the surprisingly not used as much these days "crazy locals    Yes i know, a 10?.. not quite.

    I love everything about this show. The characters, the actors, the plot and oh my god the beautiful places! I would really want to see at least one more season of this show!

    Nice to know that the BBC can produce a bomb now and then. "Tatau" is, in fact, a mega-bomb. Awful plot. Bad writing, Less than mediocre acting. It's just awful.

    A number of critics have commented on the show's beautiful south seas settings and images as some justification for the show. Not enough! If you want to see the beauty of the south seas, check out a good travel program.    Nice to know that the BBC can produce a bomb now and then. "Tatau" is, in fact, a mega-bomb. Awful plot.

    BBC America sought, wisely, to use "Orphan Black," one of its biggest hits, to launch a new show. But "Tatau" is a complete mess. During a pilot that was a rough watch and hard to follow they were already advertising being able to buy the complete first season. That was the most memorable part about the premier, and that's a bad sign.

During a pilot that was a rough watch and hard to follow they were already advertising being able to buy the complete first season. That was the most memorable part about the premier, and that's a bad sign. Then, at the end, throwing on a layer of magical elements didn't help. I thought the show was going in the direction of "The Wicker Man," which it referenced in the pilot, and perhaps that's still the case. If so, it could improve. But will anyone be watching long enough for that to happen? I doubt it.… Expand

    Tatau at times is diverting. Visually, it's simply gorgeous. But the story? Give me a break.

    Tatau is barely B-grade. But like a lot of shows these days, it offers the compensations of lovely scenery captured in quite satisfactory digital cinematography, in this case real locations in the Cook Islands and New Zealand.

    Tatau just doesn’t leave enough of an impression to get under one’s skin.
