Snippet:
Lovers of endearingly mild-mannered New Zealanders being polite, careful and deadpan in risky, high-stakes circumstances, rejoice. New Zealand Spy is a six-part comedy series from New Zealand comedian, writer and musician Paul Williams (Taskmaster NZ), whose love of James Bond and Alfred Hitchcock films has engendered a deeply dry-witted retake on classic spy films.
