Why Short Poppies is worth watching


Before anything else, if you love or even like Rhys Darby then you should undoubtedly watch this show. It's made in typical New Zealand style as it acknowledges the country's lack lavishness but instead addresses the harmless quirk of it's citizens. Coupled with Darby's comedic ability it proves to be an enjoyable show, rather similar to Flight of the Conchords in fact. I wrote a more extensive review on it if anyone's interested.

I agree with your assessment. This is a great little quirky show and I love Rhys Darby since FOTC. Very funny show.

Totally agree with you… AND we're Extras in the very first episode. Such a great day of filming :)

I just happened to stumble upon it on Netflix and I'm glad I did. Didn't realize until I looked him up on here that I had seen Rhys before in Yes Man. I usually don't remember trivial characters such as his in the movie, but I immediately recalled his role. Rhys has talent. He's got heart. Solid comedian and I hope this series garners him the attention he deserves.
