Overview
From unscripted on-screen dramas to Taika Waititi's rise to Hollywood fame, there’s no doubt the 2010s were an eventful era in New Zealand screen history. Curated by pop culture fanatics Alex Casey and Tara Ward of The Spinoff, this collection revisits the best (and worst) of the 10s — a time that saw the arrival of streaming, Shortland Street go viral, a rogue dildo on the news and local reality TV reach dizzying new heights (The Casketeers) and mortifying lows (X Factor).
