I may sound like a terrible turncoat, but lets face it, New Zealand is punching well above its weight. So much good stuff comes out of the place; THE CLEAN, BAD TASTE, way more stuff than you expect from our trans-Tasman cousins.

Now you can add TV show OUTRAGEOUS FORTUNE to the list. It's kind of like THE SOPRANOS if they were petty, go-nowhere criminals living in the suburban shit hole that is West Auckland and trying to get clean. The show's only ever randomly screened late at night here, but is in it's 5th season in NZ. If you can't find it at the video shop, my friend Marley might lend you the DVD.
