San Francisco Chronicle Tim Goodman

The level of cleverness of Flight of the Conchords is off the charts.

Slant Magazine Jimmy Newlin

The duo's knack for a peculiarly modest zaniness is shared with the brilliant supporting cast.

Los Angeles Times Robert Lloyd

That the two men are in their 30s makes their perseverance more poignant--to somewhat overstate the case--and that they have no money places them in a long and honorable line of comedians who cannot put two cents together to buy a glass of seltzer.

Variety Brian Lowry

Although this series isn't for everybody, it's the kind of solid single HBO can use while waiting for a new batch of heavy hitters to arrive; it's a refreshing favorite within the YouTube quadrant that won't leave their elders muttering about the crap those damn kids watch.

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Rob Owen

It's so funny and so well-done on so many levels, the Conchords definitely deserve to be discovered by a wide TV audience.

Newark Star-Ledger Alan Sepinwall

And as the new season begins, it becomes clear that gags are easier to write in abundance than gag lyrics. The non-melodic portions of the show are still a scream.

Salon Heather Havrilesky

The second season of HBO's Flight of the Conchords offers another wave of quirky hilarity of the very highest caliber, from Bret pawning his guitar to pay the rent, then mimicking guitar-playing while humming his part onstage, to Jemaine looking to supplement the duo's income with a little freelance prostitution.

Chicago Tribune Maureen Ryan

Nothing's less funny than a comedy that tries too hard. But Flight of the Conchords pulls off the neat trick of being amusing without appearing to try at all.

The New York Times Mike Hale

Season 2 begins on Sunday, and the off-kilter charm is still there, though some strain is beginning to show.

Time James Poniewozik

In the early Season 2 episodes, the strain shows in the songs, which service the plot but aren't as memorable as the old ones. But the scripts are as funny and tightly written as ever.

Splendid writing. great songs. it almost reaches the great writing of arrested development, but i think that may be unattainable.
