Hounds - Episode Five

Television (Full Length Episode) – 2012

In this acclaimed comedy series from creative collective The Downlow Concept, the life of a lawyer (played by Toby Sharpe) goes to the dogs, after his father’s death throws him into Auckland’s low-rent greyhound racing scene. In the second to last episode, Will’s mongrel crew have a new dog, trainer Marty does community service and Will takes on a retail job. The six part comedy screened late Friday nights on TV3. Stuff television critic Chris Philpott described it as the best scripted comedy New Zealand had produced to date. Hounds won Best Comedy at the 2012 NZ TV Awards.

I think Hounds is the best this country has ever produced, and if you aren't watching it yet, you should be.
