Jemaine (Jemaine Clement) and Bret (Bret McKenzie) are struggling musicians from New Zealand trying to make it in New York City. The duo has a band called Flight of the Conchords. They're managed by incompetent Murray Hewitt (Rhys Darby) who has a day job in the New Zealand consulate. Mel (Kristen Schaal) is their number one fan and possibly their only fan. Their friend Dave Mohumbhai (Arj Barker) works at a pawn shop.
The guys are doing a dead pan comedy duo. Bret is a bit flat although he's funnier in the second season. I think his character got dumber. I would like Jemaine to play up his jerky meanness. The funniest is Kristen Schaal although Rhys Darby is consistently fun. The show should have more Schaal. I can do with less of the comedic songs. It's fine when the comedy hits but it's not like it's good music. This is mostly a fun watch.
