High Country (2024)

Fairly awful

If you like bad, soap-opera acting and awkward, unconvincing dialogue, then High Country is for you! The relationships between the characters aren't really believable. There's a strange sense that everyone is pretending, which of course, they are.

In a well-made drama, the viewer is drawn in and swept along with the plot, forgetting that they are watching people playing dress-up and pretending. High Country is not well-made. My partner and I struggled through to episode 3 and then agreed not to continue. Life is just too short to watch any further.

I am puzzled as to why the BBC decided to broadcast High Country. They usually make excellent choices of non-British dramas to air. They really messed up with this one though. A total dud. I hope it's an anomaly.

Beautiful landscapes though and pretty horses.
