Wait, This New Zealand Crime Show Is Only 15 Minutes Long?
- A tiny but mighty crime show called ‘Alibi’.
- Seven episodes that are only 15 minutes each.
- The same story told by different people.
We just saw the coolest news from the TV world. A show called ‘Alibi’ is heading to the big MIPCOM market. It is coming all the way from New Zealand. But here is the twist. It is super short.
Each episode is only 15 minutes long. There are seven parts in total. You could watch the whole thing in under two hours. That is less time than a movie! It is produced by Plus6Four Entertainment and is now being picked up by Yes Studios.
The vibe of this show is everything. It takes place in a fictional town called Awatahi. The aesthetic is moody and very visual. Think deep greens, misty hills, and shadows. It looks like a dark painting come to life.
The storytelling is non-linear. This means it doesn’t just go from A to B. You see the same crime from multiple perspectives. It feels like a puzzle. We love a show that makes us think while looking pretty. It’s a nice break from reading about Orry’s latest internet drama.
While we wait for this to hit screens, we are keeping busy. Maybe we will watch Heidi Klum on AGT. Or we might just go shopping since Birkenstocks are finally on sale. Life is good.
Our Take
We are obsessed with this idea. Our attention spans are getting shorter. A 15-minute mystery is perfect for a quick break. It has style. It has mystery. Plus, the New Zealand backdrop is always stunning. We can’t wait to see how the puzzle pieces fit together.
