Hounds (NZ)

From the creators of hit local comedy, 7 Days, new series Hounds follows the fortunes of a shiftless lawyer, his half-sister and an alcoholic dog trainer who are trying to live under one roof and make good on the track.

Will (Toby Sharpe) is struggling at his law firm. His heart isn’t in it and he is making mistakes at work. But one day everything changes. His Dad dies, leaving him half a house; a half-sister Lily (Susana Tang); a greyhound racing dog; and its unpredictable trainer Marty (Mick Innes).

Just when it appears that the three mismatched characters will combust, they find the one thing they have in common – hounds – and it pulls them together just enough to cohabitate as a funny, warm and wryly inappropriate family. (Source: TV3)
