Keith Watson Daily Telegraph (UK) Jul 17, 2024
3/5
Andie is the thread intended to tie High Country’s multifarious plot strands and themes together and, thanks to a convincingly no-nonsense performance from Leah Purcell, who makes spiky Andie oddly likeable, it just about holds. Go to Full Review Anthony Morris ScreenHub 3 days ago
The mystery is a bit thin to start with, but there’s a lot of pieces to put in place and once things get going events move at a satisfyingly rapid pace Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Skip S. @sman17 Jun 21, 2026 Unlike other reviews, I found the acting not particularly convincing. The lead is leaden, obvious, written poorly, has no chemistry with her wife, and just plain silly when left to her own devices. The scenery is as beautiful as stated, but that is small recompense for hours invested. See more Steven M. @lwyrmoyer Oct 4, 2025 Great cinematography and scenery, good soundtrack, decent acting and direction. However, there are too many disjointed subplots and character relationships. While the last episodes ties everything together, it lands with a thud. See more Cindy M @CindyCindy Sep 10, 2025 Great acting and gorgeous scenery but too many plot lines going on. The show feels disjointed and as if the writer is trying to too hard to create mystery. Teen daughter and partner adjusting are not needed and add nothing but do distract from the powerful missing persons cases (of which there are again, too many). If there is a seafon two hope they get better screenwriters on board. See more Jill L @RT24061303 Aug 27, 2025 I really REALLY hope there are more seasons. This show is excellent- the writing is terrific, but the acting is even better. Kept me riveted! See more Read all reviews
