Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This is essentially New Zealand's answer to The Sopranos, but make it working-class and deeply unglamorous. It became a touchstone for Kiwi television — everyone knows a West family.
Antony Starr played identical twins Van and Jethro through split-screen and body double magic — years before he became Homelander in The Boys. The duality training clearly paid off.
