Has this ever happened to you? Jill and I have recently begun watching a New Zealand cop/mystery show, The Brokenwood Mysteries. It's well done, with interesting cases, a terrific lead ensemble, and nice work maintaining a sense of a continuing world around them--the same locals appearing in multiple episodes, the same pub, etc.
But last night, we were watching the first episode of the third season--based around a guy who is running a scam "Lord of the Rings" tour (in an area of NZ that was not part of the trilogy)...and we realized we had, somehow, somewhere, seen it before. Trouble is, we could not for the life of us figure out when or where it was. We both could swear that we ran across the series while scanning through the shows available on the Acorn channel, we had never heard of it before.
Did it briefly run on one of the local PBS stations a few years back and we stumbled upon it? Not that we recall....but the episode began and we both immediately recognized it...and I even recalled the solution to the mystery.
I guess that makes for a new mystery.
