I watched about four episodes on a long haul flight between NZ and USA. I could see why Kiwis find this funny but it did nothing for me. The attempt to send a message to young people through this program will be limited. The attempts to incorporate contemporary culture with a modern concept of spirituality is offensive to those to wish their religious observation to be pure and without idolatry. It could be improved considerably by having the actors speak more clearly. They can still use their slang but they need to enunciate, otherwise it becomes a long mumble. The best thing to come out of New Zealand is not this but the Seven Periods of Mr Gormsby which is more entertaining and more likely to share a valuable message with young Kiwis.
