Tatau is a British drama television series that premiered on BBC Three on 12 April 2015. The programme is a supernatural murder mystery set in the Cook Islands. The series consists of 8 episodes.
The critical reception to Tatau has been generally negative. The Philadelphia Inquirer called it "must-miss" television, a "weak show" with an "incredibly annoying hero" and The Daily Telegraph's Isabel Mohan called the show "grating", "tedious" and "far-fetched". Brian Lowry of Variety was more ambivalent, saying that it "works as a modest mystery/picturesque travelogue, provided one can get past the hackneyed premise and almost complete lack of character establishment... a mildly watchable thriller, assuming viewers don't dwell too much on the white-savior-in-exotic-locale undertones."
