The Blue Rose is a New Zealand crime drama series that premiered in 2013 on Acorn TV. The show follows the story of Jane, a law clerk at a prestigious Auckland law firm, who becomes suspicious after her colleague and friend, Linda, apparently commits suicide. Jane is convinced that Linda's death was not a suicide and that something far more sinister has happened. She teams up with Linda's former boyfriend, a streetwise guy named Danny, to unravel the mystery of Linda's death.

Jane and Danny's investigation leads them to the world of high-stakes corporate law, where they discover a web of deceit and corruption. The two unlikely partners navigate their way through the shadowy underworld of corporate espionage and sinister power plays, all while trying to stay one step ahead of the people who will stop at nothing to keep their secrets safe.

The series boasts a talented cast with Antonia Prebble playing Jane, Siobhan Marshall playing Linda, and Matt Minto playing Danny. Prebble, who has previously starred in popular New Zealand shows like Outrageous Fortune and The Almighty Johnsons, gives a nuanced performance as a young woman grappling with grief, guilt, and a burning need for justice. Marshall's turn as Linda is equally impressive, and she imbues the character with a complexity and vulnerability that makes her death all the more tragic. Minto, meanwhile, brings a rough-edged charm to the role of Danny, and his chemistry with Prebble is one of the highlights of the show.

The Blue Rose also boasts strong production values, with beautiful cinematography that showcases Auckland's stunning cityscapes and rugged landscapes. The show's score, composed by Plan 9, is moody and atmospheric, perfectly complementing the show's darker themes.

Despite its initial setup as a legal drama, The Blue Rose quickly evolves into a gripping crime thriller that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats. The series is unafraid to tackle tough themes like corporate greed, mental health, and domestic violence, making it a thought-provoking and emotionally resonant watch. The show's breezy, fast-paced style is a welcome departure from the often slow and ponderous pacing of many other crime dramas, and the series is refreshingly unpredictable, with plenty of twists and turns to keep audiences engaged.

Overall, The Blue Rose is a smart, stylish, and engaging crime drama that will appeal to fans of the genre. Its strong cast, beautiful cinematography, and thought-provoking themes make it a standout among other crime shows, and its unexpected plot twists and character dynamics keep the series fresh and engaging throughout its run.

The Blue Rose is a series that ran for 1 seasons (13 episodes) between and on Acorn TV
