Review of seasons 1 and 2 Click here for a video version of this review: https://youtu.be/CO0lUTNUUlY So, watching TV shows about funerals is not my usual fare, but adding a New Zealand twist is enough to catch my interest. _The Casketeers_ has two seasons on Netflix, and follows the staff of Tipene Funerals, based in Auckland, New Zealand. _Passionate proprietors Francis and Kaiora Tipene offer a unique insight into Tipene Funerals, where the taboo of death is addressed with dignity and aroha._ Aroha is the Maori word for love and there is very much a lot of aroha on display in this series. The care that the staff and management take with their clients is wonderful to watch, and the interactions between them as a team are at times hilarious, and at others, downright sweet. Peppered all the way through it is some great Kiwi humour and cheekiness and its a pretty neat show overall. Both seasons are of the same quality and its balance of sad parts and humour made them both a pleasure to watch. I think this is a bit of a hidden gem in the Netflix catalogue, and well worth tracking down.
