Tim Goodman

The level of cleverness of Flight of the Conchords is off the charts. Read full review

Jimmy Newlin

The duo's knack for a peculiarly modest zaniness is shared with the brilliant supporting cast. Read full review

Heather Havrilesky

The second season of HBO's Flight of the Conchords offers another wave of quirky hilarity of the very highest caliber, from Bret pawning his guitar to pay the rent, then mimicking guitar-playing while humming his part onstage, to Jemaine looking to supplement the duo's income with a little freelance prostitution.

Robert Lloyd

That the two men are in their 30s makes their perseverance more poignant--to somewhat overstate the case--and that they have no money places them in a long and honorable line of comedians who cannot put two cents together to buy a glass of seltzer. Read full review

Alan Sepinwall

And as the new season begins, it becomes clear that gags are easier to write in abundance than gag lyrics. The non-melodic portions of the show are still a scream. Read full review

Maureen Ryan

Nothing's less funny than a comedy that tries too hard. But Flight of the Conchords pulls off the neat trick of being amusing without appearing to try at all. Read full review

James Poniewozik

In the early Season 2 episodes, the strain shows in the songs, which service the plot but aren't as memorable as the old ones. But the scripts are as funny and tightly written as ever. Read full review

This is a brilliant show. Even more enjoyable if you understand the nuances of kiwi humour.

They've taken what they had in season one and built on it. The songs are just as funny, but the episodes surrounding them have gotten better. Episode 5, "Unnatural Love" is one of the funniest half-hours of television I've seen.

There will always be people who consider themselves "better" fans of something if they claim that the new isn't as good as the old. I just finished watching the whole second season, and it's all brilliant. The plots are more cohesive, the writing is tighter, and you get to see There will always be people who consider themselves "better" fans of something if they claim that the new isn't as good as the old. I just finished watching the whole second season, and it's all brilliant. The plots are more cohesive, the writing is tighter, and you get to see character development outside of Bret & Jemaine - such as the conflict in Mel & Doug's relationship, or the expansion upon Murray & poor hapless Greg. The second season shows slightly higher production values as well as more experimentation with song styles, including a Korean karaoke that had me and everybody I was watching with split our sides laughing. Those who complain of "mediocre" songs must not recognize the gems that are "Too Many Dicks on the Dance Floor,"or the self-deprecating yet surprisingly sweet "Carol Brown." I love these guys, here's hoping for a third season.… Expand

Season one is just a straight 10/10 for comedic writing but thia season is still good, but lacks a bit from the first season. Still a solid comedy show with some of the best dry humour on tv. Funny as hell and easy to watch for anyone. Songs are also still pretty good but like i say, seasonSeason one is just a straight 10/10 for comedic writing but thia season is still good, but lacks a bit from the first season.

Must watch both seasons!… Expand

I have to credit their attempt at writing songs completely different than the first season. "Too Many Dicks on the Dancefloor" is just as classic as "Business Time".

Wow, i really can't understand how people who liked the first series can enjoy the second. I was and still a huge fan of the first, but the second...what can i say, it is so dissapointing. Flat scenarios, mediocre songs, and the only things that 0bret and jemain seem to do is to look Wow, i really can't understand how people who liked the first series can enjoy the second.
