Mr Gormsbey
Shaun and I had a great friendship going on. But then I crossed the line and gave up something I can never get back. Our friendship is ruined. Shaun has lost all respect for me.
Because I watched about five episodes back to back of Seven Periods with Mr Gormsbey. I gave up over 90 minutes of my life that I will never get back. If you ever get to watch it, it is badness on wheels. Production values no badness can ever trump. Yet I was hooked. Each episode ended on a cliffhanger, and I was willing to suffer the bad script to just to see what happens in the world of wooden NZ acting. Can anything good ever come out of New Zealand?
(Hey, it might have been the Maori guys that had me watching... yeah I know they're school kids on the show, but they're probably adult actors?)
(I'm also willing to watch the rest of the season. I'm almost addicted to the badness of it.)

NZ - current home of some of the most amazing filmmaking talent in the world. Except they seem to only have one director. PJ was obviously too busy to do Gormsby. And I think PJ is the kiwi all the good crew will work with (international directors seem fine too), cos this thing was shot like a home video, and edited like one too.
This is one of those shows that only gets any attention because it has a character that unapologetically says politically incorrect things.

And cool Maori dudes??
I saw an episode once. I seem to remember the pacing was pretty poor, and it was shot like an ABC Kids production from the early 90s. In fact, it looked a bit like Charlie the Wonder Dog, when the ABC crews filmed it instead of Santo.
