But the bitter ex-cop who led the investigation remains adamant that he’s guilty – and will stop at nothing to bring him down.

“I do love Kiwi humour and comedy. u0026quot;This Townu0026quot; has it in spades and delivers it in a unique mockumentary style which suits the comedy style perfectly.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt reminded me a little of u0026quot;Eagle vs Sharku0026quot; mixed with the Rhys Darby series u0026quot;Short Poppiesu0026quot; (if murder was involved). There are numerous laugh out loud moments and enough quirkiness to make you smile. It begins strong and ends strong.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eItu0026#39;s fairly easy to watch and the short runtime ensures youu0026#39;re never too bored. It does lose its way in the middle though and begins to take itself too seriously. It goes a little too long between laughs, and when youu0026#39;re talking of massacres and grief so much, it gets a bit depressing.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIf youu0026#39;re a fan of New Zealand comedy and dark, dry humour then you might like this. Unique rom-com.”
