Where to Watch
The trials and tribulations of a two man, digi-folk band who have moved from New Zealand to New York City in the hope of forging a successful music career. So far they've managed to find a manager (whose "other" job is at the New Zealand Consulate), one fan (a married obsessive) and one friend (who owns the local pawn shop) -- but not much else.
Who would love this
- ♥Quirky, deadpan, and absurdist humor.
- ♥Musical comedy and clever songwriting.
- ♥Character-driven narratives with endearing, flawed protagonists.
- ♥A gentle, optimistic, and non-cynical comedic tone.
- ♥Shows like "The Mighty Boosh," "Portlandia," "Mr. Show with Bob and David," and "Curb Your Enthusiasm" (though the latter is more cynical).
Who might not
- ✗Fast-paced, high-energy, or slapstick comedy.
- ✗More conventional sitcom structures or dramatic storylines.
- ✗Edgier, more cynical, or sarcastic humor.
- ✗Shows that are less reliant on musical numbers.
- ✗Those who find the characters' lack of success or ambition frustrating rather than endearing.
