Season 1 Review:
For those who want the world to be an orderly place where cops solve crimes and keep everyone safe, Wellington Paranormal notes that law enforcement would probably be just as bad at stopping werewolves and vampires as they are at preventing real crime. Those ideas might not be particularly empowering, but they are absurdly funny.

Season 1 Review:
Somehow, though, the level of humor on Wellington Paranormal remains consistent and there are no real diminishing returns to Minogue and O’Leary’s obliviousness. The cases of the week have just enough variation that the two leads’ stone-faced eccentricities remain amusing with Pohatu, less clueless and more amiably accepting, getting funnier and funnier the more involved he becomes.

Season 1 Review:
It’s the kind of comedy that demands your full attention, because the best jokes often involve things happening in the background Minogue and O’Leary are focusing on something unimportant, but the overall pace and caliber of the jokes are much more relaxed than on something like the FX Shadows.
