Following on from the quite exceptional debut season, Flight Of The Conchords' sophomore run thankfully manages to recapture the comedy genius that put the show on the map in the first place. And, bluntly, it's often painfully funny.If you're new to the show, it basically follows two folk singers from New Zealand, who are trying to make it big in New York City. Naturally, in Flight Of The Conchords, things don't quite go to plan, and it becomes clear that America might not be ready for the pair's musical creations.Powered by Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement in the lead roles, but backed by a particularly good supporting cast (including the wonderful Rhys Darby as their part-time manager), Flight Of The Conchords' second season throws up some real classics. We get Bret starting up a gang, Jemaine's realisation that he's slept with someone from Australia, and, of course, the visit of the New Zealand Prime Minister. There are ten episodes in total, and while not every one of them hits the heights of the series at its peak, this is still a comedy goldmine.
