New to TVNZ+: February 1-7

The Crow Girl (February 4) is a Paramount+ adaptation of a Swedish novel relocated to Bristol.

It stars Eve Myles as a detective who teams with an eminent psychotherapist (Katherine Kelly) to catch a serial killer of young men.

“This confident, stylish adaptation of a Scandinavian bestseller is an extremely well-made thriller about the race to track down a serial child killer,” The Guardian said while the Independent thought “this gripping tale of gruesome killings … much darker than the average streaming whodunit”.

But The Telegraph argued “its maiming and misery leaves a bad taste in the mouth,” dismissing it as “a series that mistakes earnestness for significance and desolation for insight”.

Also new is another season of competitive Māori performing arts series The Road to Te Matatini (February 6), a handful of linear debuts and NFL – Pro Bowl Games Championship (9am February 3), which is exclusive to TVNZ+.

Streaming from February 1 are the movies Tumbledown, I Want You Back and Moonstruck.
