Created and written by Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi as the first spin-off of their film What We Do In The Shadows, this series follows officers Minogue (Mike Minogue) and O'Leary (Karen O'Leary) as they work for the new Wellington Paranormal division under their Sargeant Maaka (Maaka Pohatu) to take down ghosts, ghouls, werewolves, and zombies. Similar to the film that precedes it, Wellington Paranormal is shot in documentary style with a fake camera crew capturing all the footage and lots of talking heads before and after scenes explaining situations. It also has a lot of the same charms as Flight of the Conchords coming from Jemaine Clements unique humour. I laughed a good number of times, its stays fairly fresh over its four seasons. You don't have to watch the original film to get this, and the other spin-off series What We Do In The Shadows is fantastic, I think is my personal favourite from the group so far. Still Wellington Paranormal is quite funny, would recommend.
