Crime drama fanatics have been entranced by Black Snow, a series earning a shining 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Currently streaming on AMC Plus and Sundance Now, and available on BBC iPlayer for UK viewers, the show has garnered immense approval for its enthralling narrative.
The series focuses on Detective James Cormack as he investigates previously unsolved cases while grappling with his personal mission to uncover the truth behind his brother's disappearance from their childhood. Although it kicked off in 2023, it's the latest season's release that's sparking fresh conversations this year.
Hailing from Australia and having premiered originally on Stan, Black Snow has been an absolute hit thanks largely to Queensland's captivating backdrops where filming took place. The series' engaging content has not only scored it top marks on Rotten Tomatoes but also generated lively discussions amongst its Reddit fan base.

It appears that the show has successfully captured a global audience with its compelling content.
One eager fan shared: "Love it, especially as someone who knows the region pretty well. Always nice to see mountains and scenery you've grown up with.", reports Surrey Live.
Another viewer is playing the waiting game, stating: "I also loved S1. We've decided to wait till all the eps after E2 drop before watching them though."
Offering their two cents, another spectator commented: "Damn, literally just finished watching the new episode, liking s2 a lot so far, really enjoyed s1."
Voicing their appreciation for the series prominence, one fan remarked: "This is such a good series. Haven't watched a good one like this in a while. I really hope they end up making a third season."
Meanwhile, a fourth fan heaped praise on the show, saying: "Brilliant show. I hope it returns for season three this year."
An American viewer, having just binge-watched the first season, shared their enthusiasm: "American here, just binged first season. Holy s**t, y'all know how to create a great story. Starting second season now."
Starring Travis Fimmel as Detective James Cormack, the gripping drama series premiered in 2019. The show follows Cormack as he leads an investigation into the cold case murder of teenager Isabel Baker in the fictional town of Ashford.
As the series unfolds, Cormack becomes determined to uncover the truth, while also dealing with his own personal tragedy - the unsolved disappearance of his younger brother in 1994. This adds another layer to the thrilling narrative that fans have clearly taken to.
One critic on Rotten Tomatoes praised the show, saying: "It could have been a disaster, but it isn't. It's a real breath of fresh air."
Another reviewer noted the series' unique qualities, stating: "This is a moody, well-made crime drama that explores a lesser-known aspect of Australian culture and history, making it definitely worth adding to your watchlist."
Acknowledging the show's multifaceted narrative, another reviewer commented: "Come for Australia's latest must-stream crime drama, and the first of 2023, but stay for a show that embraces and interrogates much more than its recognisable basic setup typically indicates."
