What happens

Nothing Trivial is a New Zealand comedy-drama television series, produced by South Pacific Pictures. The series is created by the duo of Gavin Strawhan and the co-creator of Outrageous Fortune, Rachel Lang. The pair, who also created the shows Go Girls and This Is Not My Life, both write and executive produce the show. The series is set around five characters who meet at a pub quiz. All share the characteristic of being unlucky in love. The series began airing on TV One in July 2011 and the first episode had the highest number of viewers of any locally made drama debut since 2000. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
