I'm not a Kiwi so the accent took some time to get use too but nevertheless really funny and watch out for the newspaper headlines at the beginning of every episode, they change each episode & are brilliant 😂
This alone is a great show. But for those who enjoy the spooky and funny, this is a real hit. From a viewer to the creators, this show is an absolute blast.
If you loved What we do in the shadows and then this is the show for you. Laugh out loud comedy from start to finish.
Wellington Paranormal is so ridiculous and fun that I couldn't stop watching it. It's created by Taika Waititi (What We Do in the Shadows, Thor: Ragnarok, Thor: Love and Thunder, Jojo Rabbit, etc) and Jermaine Clement so if you like their kind of humor then give this show a try. While it's not quite as good as What We Do in the Shadows, it's a spin-off of that show. It's a about a police force in New Zealand that start to see paranormal events in their city and start a Paranormal division led by Sergeant Maaka and Officers Minogue and O'Leary. It is a documentary style show in the form of Cops.
I have to say that I really wasn't expecting to laugh as much as I did at this show. Wellington Paranormal is about a group of investigators in the capital of New Zealand as they track supernatural events. It's a simple show that knows how silly it is and leans in to some of their dumb jokes that makes it even fun funnier. You can tell the cast is having an absolute blast making it. The seasons only consist of 6 episodes per season and only run 20-25 min but it's perfect. It's a show that definitely pokes fun at itself and will have you laughing out loud several times per episode. This is definitely a hidden gem and I'm glad I gave it a chance.

- TriviaKaren O'Leary and Mike Minogue ended up playing characters called O'Leary and Minogue in the original film because director Jemaine Clement hadn't come up with any names for their characters, and when Karen O'Leary met him on set he asked her what her character should be called. He decided that her real surname sounded really 'cop' so they decided to use it, and they also decided to use Mike Minogue's surname as well.
