Super City - First Episode

Television (Full Length Episode) – 2011

Actor Madeleine Sami transforms into five very different Aucklanders in this Taika Waititi directed comedy series. Cheerleader Pasha is desperate to hang on to her youth; Linda tries too hard with her middle-aged clique; Azeem the Iranian taxi driver is obsessed with Māori culture; homeless Georgie makes a shock discovery, and gym instructor Jo secretly loves a female colleague. Rachel House, Rose McIver and Antonia Prebble appear in this series opener. Super City creator Sami (The Breaker Upperers) co-wrote the scripts, and won an Aotearoa award for Best Actress.

I wanted skin bleach cream. What am I going to do with an iron? I wear lycra, I wear g-strings. I don't iron that shiz.
– Pasha's reaction to her Indian family giving her an iron for her birthday
