Hounds (TV3, 2012)

New Zealand television comedy is, by and large, shit.

Don't believe me?  YOU try fucking watching some.

But every now and then, there's a show that's dumped at ten or eleven on a weekday night that stands out from the rest.  That isn't just a mere mushroom poking out from a steaming pile of shit.  That doesn't make you want to throw something at your flatscreen.

 
Hounds is it.

Of course it's not perfect.  But a). it treats the audience with some intelligence, b). it's not cringemakingly shit, and c). it's actually fucking funny.

This post is five weeks late - the season finale is this coming Friday - but GODDAMMIT I want more already.
