About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you like topical, sarcastic mockumentary comedy in the vein of Cunk on Christmas or Borat Subsequent Moviefilm; Not for you if heavy political satire and deliberately pointed jokes feel more tiring than funny.
Pros: sharp satirical setup; funny fake interviews; brisk year-in-review format | Cons: uneven laughs; politically divisive tone; less witty than before
