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

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. Read full review

I found myself not caring much about Kyle, Budgie or what any of these tattoos mean, but the cinematography is grand. Read full review

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

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

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. You shouldn't have to listen to the rest of the drivel that is "Tatau".… Expand
