Deep dives
The Top 100 New Zealand TV Shows Initiative
A significant focus of the project is the compilation of the top 100 New Zealand TV shows of the 21st century. This effort emerged from the realization that no such comprehensive assessment had previously been conducted within New Zealand's television landscape. The team acknowledged the need to include both critically acclaimed and popular shows, as many local favorites, often dismissed in other discussions, play a crucial role in national culture. A long list of nearly 300 shows was curated, which included a variety of formats, reflecting the diverse television offerings in the country.
