t’s not often a New Zealand television show wins two major international awards before a single episode has hit our screens, but Madam is breaking all the rules. New Zealand’s latest dramedy premiered on Three last night, just weeks after collecting the Golden Nymph for Best Creation at the Monte Carlo TV Festival and days after winning Best Comedy Series at the prestigious Berlin TV Series Festival. The show is the latest success story to come out of Te Puna Kairangi, the premium fund for international audiences that helped make glossy, well-received television shows like After the Party and Dark City: The Cleaner.
