The DVD shelves are creaking with television shows waiting to be discovered, and here’s another. Harper’s Island is a clever, twisty drama thriller that’s nominally about whittling 25 potential suspects down to reveal one killer. Taking place across 13 episodes, the tightly-plotted narrative leaves room for many jump out of your seat moments, but crucially, it keeps you interested and guessing right through to the final episode.
The event that brings the cast of Harper’s Island together is a wedding at the island of the show’s title. The same island where a series of murders had been committed seven years earlier and gone unsolved. And when more people start dropping dead, the accusations begin, and the mystery intensifies.
Building up its tension extremely effectively episode after episode, and benefiting from the lack of star names--along with actors who were primarily getting their scripts on a week-by-week basis not even they know who will make it to the end of the series or who is the murderer.
Harper’s Island emerges as a terrific, engaging television drama. It’s inevitably a dish best served as cold as possible, and it does in truth borrow conventions and ideas set down by one or two previous shows. A cracking, and complex, whodunit .
