Flight of the Conchords

8.6 | TV-MA | en | Comedy

The trials and tribulations of a two man, digi-folk band who have moved from New Zealand to New York 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.

Reviews

Austin Cross This is one of my absolute favorite shows. I first started out liking the band and their music, having no idea that they had a show. Then, I started watching the show and ended up liking it even more than the songs. The show is very calm and slow-paced, despite being set in New York City. Bret and Jemaine (that's how their names are spelled) are two struggling (and I'm putting as much emphasis on the word) musicians trying to become famous. Throughout the two seasons, they encounter many strange people, including a Simon and Garfunkel-obsessed sex addict and even a racist fruit vendor. One of the funniest characters on this show has to be Murray Hewitt, the band's manager. Bret and Jemaine are very good musicians and their songs often coincide with the situation before they are played. A must-watch for any comedy and/or music fan. Nine out of ten.

marieinkpen I think this is the funniest sit-com I have ever watched. It makes me laugh out loud more than anything else I have ever seen. Why is a rambling conversation about buying a cup, or Simon and Garfunkel tribute acts, so funny? The writing is perfect and the acting is perfect. I do not know how these guys keep a straight face - not just Jemaine, Bret, and Murray, but the understated support cast too. The idea of a musical sit-com sounds horrendous - but not only are the songs very very funny but they are actually good songs too. Production quality very high. Consistently ingenious, pure joy. It also makes me want to go to New Zealand.

Jesse Kellestine But it certainly is for me. Flight of the Conchords is all about the quick & subtle comedy & hardly gets in your face (aside from the musical interludes of extreme greatness).Bret & Jermaine are two struggling musicians living in New York, they deal with some ordinary situations in odd ways, as well as dealing with odd situations with awkward delight. They have a band manager Murray, who is usually a scene stealer & is not without his own personal problems, which just adds to the hilarity of the whole show.Now the comedy isn't for everyone, it's something you either love, or just don't care for. I Care for it quite a bit, it's one of the shows I actually WANT to watch.

Paul Ahearne I guess the general rule is that in any 1st season of a comedy there are going to be highs and lows. However this could be the exception to the rule. It was brilliant from start to finish. Anyone lucky enough to listen to the Conchords radio series in the UK or to have seen their HBO one night stand slot will not be disappointed. The humor is subtle and at times could be likened to the UK version of the office with Rhys Darby in the David Brent role (band manager Murray). Bret and Jermain satisfy audiences with their witty repertoire of songs and inane banter, all while the world around them seems to make less and less sense. Superb. A must see.
