Episode 1: Trust
It begins, as terrible things often do, with a knife…
After a few months of assimilating to island life on St Kilda, Lockie MacGregor is deemed worthy of truly becoming a member of Dubrach’s family. However, with not everyone on the island convinced of his worth Lockie finds just making it to the ceremony an incredible challenge.
There’s no change without sacrifice, and life on this secluded isle is about to change irrevocably.

Customer Reviews
Bravo!
A gripping tale. I was hooked from the beginning.
The end.. well.
So so
It seems like a decent story and it has great acting it is just hard to follow the story line
Amazing storyline, soundscaping, and acting!
Kilda is an amazing start of a story, and I CANNOT wait for Season 2. The characters are super developed and 3-dimensional, and their motives are clear throughout the show. You honestly forget it’s about cult indoctrination because the people really do seem lovely!! I think the team does an excellent job in building their narrative, and the soundscaping/music is exceptional!
