Flight of the Conchords - The Complete Season One

Flight of the Conchords - the Complete Season One
[DVD Flight]

My sister had told me about this show a few years ago, and I'm glad I finally got around to watching the first season. The Flight of the Conchords is a band made up of two guys from New Zealand named Jemaine and Bret. The guys are trying to make it big in New York City with the help of their agent, Murray and their number one fan, (actually only fan) Mel. The cast is small but great. Jemaine and Bret write off the wall songs that make you scratch your head, but their innocence is endearing. My favorite character is actually Murray, the band's manager played by Rhys Darby. Murray refuses to give up on the band, even though Jemaine and Bret never make his job easy. The band meetings are some of my favorite parts of each episode. It is hilarious to see Murray at work in his attempt to make Flight of the Conchords a success. This series is quirky and fun, and with only 12 episodes in the first season, it is a fairly quick series to watch. -- recommended by Alyse S. - Bennett Martin Public Library
