Andrea Mullaney from the Scotsman writes a review of the Flight of the Conchords show, now airing on BBC Four. She wonders how the show survived the American TV market and explains how the show is a better fit for British audiences. If you are interested in how the show is seen overseas then this is an interesting read.
In fact, the first episode is actually the least funny of the three I’ve seen so far, so it’s worth staying with it. There’s something appealing, in an age when so much comedy is getting progressively more frenetic and catchphrase-based, in the show’s refusal to milk its deceptively clever lines. And as their manager/consular official, Murray, Rhys Darby almost steals the show.
