The Almighty Johnsons
TV Show · Comedy · Fantasy

To the unstudied eye, The Almighty Johnsons are just a bunch of regular guys. Goofball Axl (Emmett Skilton), serious married man Mike (Tim Balme), roguish Anders (Dean O'Gorman), and resentful middle kid (Jared Turner) make up a close family unit with their "cousin" Olaf (Ben Barrington). But, as Axl finds out on his 21st birthday, they're no regular family: The brothers, and Olaf (who's really their ageless grandfather), are the reincarnations of Norse gods, with deadly superpowers they can barely control. The Johnsons are in danger, too, from a group of goddesses looking to usurp their powers. If Axl, the reincarnation of Odin, can find and marry the reincarnation of Norse goddess Frigg, their family will survive and their powers will be restored. If not, it's not only the Johnsons who are in trouble -- it's the whole world.

Season 1

  • EPISODE 1
    It's Kind of a Birthday Present
    It is Axl Johnson’s 21st birthday – which explains the fire in the sky; the Waitemata Harbour being the colour of blood; the various women who seem to want to kill him; and the sudden need for a family ceremony in a forest.
    44m
  • EPISODE 2
    This Is Where Duty Starts
    Axl Johnson learns very quickly that when you’re on a Quest to find one woman among millions, your heart is not necessarily the part of your anatomy you should be following.
    44m
  • EPISODE 3
    God's Gift to Zebras
    One of the things about Goddesses is that they can show up anywhere – be it in a library or at a bar. But whether they are the Goddess you’re looking for is a whole other matter.
    43m
  • EPISODE 4
    You Gotta Love Life, Babe
    Sometimes the line between doing the honourable thing and doing the easy thing, that line can get very blurred – especially when it comes to Gods and their offspring.
    44m
  • EPISODE 5
    This Is Not Washing Powder, My Friend
    When something seems too good to be true, this is inevitably because it is too good to be true. And this is a lesson Axl Johnson is about to learn – big time.
    44m
  • EPISODE 6
    Goddesses, Axl, Come in All Forms
    It’s hammer time, as a road trip to follow a falling star takes the God boys into uncharted territory; to a heartland of darkness where the usual rules no longer apply.
