Default The Almighty Johnsons uk pace
Just seen this and will anyone else be watching it tonight on Syfy. i love the idea

Fantasy drama from New Zealand. On this 21st birthday Axl Johnson's brothers reveal that they are all reincarnated Norse gods, and that he is Odin. Emmett Skilton stars

To be honest i haven't seen some decent drama from New Zealand since Xena finished. Will i be the only one?

i thought it was quite good, a little rough around the edges but overall promising

all the brothers seem unique and with room for development

made me chuckle in places

word of warning for our younger viewers it's a bit sweary and mild nudity male and female not True Blood strength mind

edit= ps it's on sky anytime if you have that and have missed it

I liked it, I would have liked to have seen a little more powers being used though.

Will watch next weeks.

I liked it a bit but the local station here never kept it in a regular slot.

Hey, keep an eye open for another NZSFTV series ( ), 'This Is Not My Life', it's pretty good, more a miniseries than an ongoing one.
