Wellington Paranormal (2018–2022)
6/10
Dry, Droll & FAF
1 August 2018
This domestic comedy Wellington Paranormal, unlike some of the more traveled kiwi comedies makes no attempt to mainstream the humour for foreigners who simply can't get it - humourously or on their TV screens as it has been made for domestic consumption through local network TV. That kind of makes me wonder about where all the foreign critiques which don't get the show - why would they they are too busy being exceptional or whatever they do, are watching Wellington Paranormal? This is FAF but there's no explaining coppers who don't get off on waving guns in poor people's faces to viewers from somewhere that seems to be about all their police do. The addition of Maaka Pohatu as the dedicated, all too humane tangata whenua Sergeant Maaka balances the humour realistically in a manner that makes trying to explain this show to non-Aotearoans a fruitless endeavour.
