A comedic current affairs show with a Māori perspective, Brown Eye ran for one season in 2015. The New Zealand flag referendum — a major topic of debate that year — is the focus of this first episode. Host Nathan Rarere provides a quick history lesson on the flag, before being joined by panelists, comedian Mike King and campaigner for a NZ Republic, Savage (the production designer, not the musician). Presenter Jamaine Ross then canvasses public opinion, with hilarious results. Other features include cute kids speaking te reo, a quick trip to small-town Waharoa and a cameo by Taika Waititi (one of the show's writers).
