The Almighty Johnsons - Season 1 (3 Disc Set) reviews

I'll admit that when I first watched Almighty Johnsons I was extremely skeptical and didn't have much faith in the success of the story. However, upon the completion of the series I felt a sense of satisfaction which was more than I got from the first season of Outrageous Fortune.

I've given this DVD set a rating of 3/5 simply because I feel that this platform is quickly becoming outdated, and a BluRay set would have been more sufficient. Perhaps that's something for South Pacific Pictures to ponder.

However in regards to the show itself, it does get the job done. At the end of the day Almighty Johnsons delivers and fun and wild ride into a new territory of Norse God's and Goddesses mixed in with that great New Zealand culture. This is one show you cannot afford to miss.

I found this series refreshingly different, I loved it! Great characters and interesting storylines. Very much looking forward to series 2!

Love it – can't wait for season 2!

A brilliant show from NZ, that could possibly even rival Outrageous Fortune. Original storyline, with great actors and some really funny parts. Highly recommended.

I found this to be very entertaining and I am looking forward to the next season. Thank you :)

The Almighty Johnsons blew away all my expectations. I loved every second and can't wait for the new series!

What I really like about this series (other then the smorgasbord of hotness) is the quality kiwi writing. The storyline is packed with kiwi relevance about mythical yet flawed characters.

When the Almighty Johnsons was first on TV I found (like many others) that it took a few episodes before I got really into it. Not so rewatching it on DVDs. Those thinking about buying shouldn't worry about wasting money on episodes that aren't brilliant – because they certainly are as good as all the others rewatching them.

Another great New Zealand tv series. I still miss Outrageous Fortue, but I thing I have found my repalcement. Go girls is good but I think this show is better. Bring on season 2

Who would have thought New Zealand could not make a great science fiction story AND have the sense to renew it for a second season- It is a gentle science fiction, like the humour, never dominating the story. Just the initiator for the plot; a place for the characters to play. And a great range of characters there are.The yuppie and the hippy mystic, the young adventurer and the god just trying to be normal. The female characters have been a bit thin but as there is more time I think they will improve.

Fantastic New Zealand Television

I was hooked after the first episode. Well written, well acted a great balance of humour and adult themed entertainment with a bit of Kiwiania thrown in.
This is a series that needs support to keep going. That's why I ordered the DVD

Being able to watch the show without the ads was wonderful – great to be able to follow the story in one go.

Oddly addictive, I was hooked after the first couple of episodes. Think outrageous fortune, take away the criminals, and replace them with gods. Hot gods. Drool worthy gods even!!! Its like magic with the raunchyness of outrageous fortune thrown in. Definitely worth the wait to watch, and I will be first on the list to buy the second season too!!!
