Review of Hounds

Hounds (2012)
10/10
Funny, charming and 'Kiwi-as'
16 June 2012
This was a great find. Having heard nothing about this series, we discovered it one night by accident. And now, we are addicted.

A light-hearted, down-to-earth TV series with quirky characters who are thrown together from the first episode by Will's father dying and leaving his house to his son (and making him guardian to Lily), as well as his greyhound to Lily.

Will is a failing (and somewhat selfish) lawyer (Toby Sharpe) who thinks he knows it all - he has a girlfriend who is a ditsy 18 year old called Amber (Catherine Waller); Marty (Mick Innes), is an aging and alcoholic greyhound trainer; and Lily (Susana Tang), Will's sensible Asian half-sister - all living together under the same roof. We meet various other quirky characters throughout the series as well, including Guy Williams, as a rather eccentric 'fencing guru'.

The creators of this series are the creators of '7 Days' apparently, and there are many laugh- out-loud moments, some cringe-worthy (but funny) moments, and some sweet moments. Well-written, and shot (hand-held camera) as if we were there experiencing it all with these lovable characters.

Give this series a chance on TV3 - watch it, love it. We did and we do!
