La Tierra según Philomena Cunk

As a mockumentary series about human civilization, it's very funny, even if it's quite one-note. It reminds me "Idiot Abroad" for some reason very much.

Using humor quite similar to "Borat" movies, it tells condensed version of human history and main laugh is putting various experts into uncomfortable situation where they have to answer stupid questions about history.

Diane Morgan is very good, too, multiplying comedy with her facial expressions and always having something surprising ready around the corner.

I quite enjoyed it, although given how little average people actually know or have interest in humanity's tale, it's a bit cringey to reduce much-needed education to such a circus.

The comedy method this show did can be highly hit or miss, and for most episodes, they did hit. So worth a watch.

How I'd missed good satire. It's becoming increasingly harder to write nowadays when the world is more surreal, but this is satirical commentary at it's finest.

Fan-favourite character, Philomena Cunk, is back to navigate the documentary series tropes expertly, with Dianne Morgan adding her usual comedic blend of dry satire, irony and faux stupidity - so well, in fact, that people such as 'b4blue' appear to have completely mistaken exactly what it is that the show pokes fun at alongside being surreally funny (spoiler, it's not solely 'experts that think they're always right').

Brilliant, top-form writing from Hazeley that's on par with his plethora of previous work. The usual contributors combined with a laugh-out-loud performance from Morgan make for a wonderful satire.

Irreverent, downright funny. It's a mockumentary after all. It's the whole of human history in 5 short episodes. It's a refreshing tack on our story through the millennia. What a story. Better still, what a storyteller Diane Morgan is.

There's not a frame where I was either smiling or laughing. Her delivery, thanks to the guy or gal who made the script, is so amazingly funny. You learn a bit more of history while she entertains you with her quips and utterly nonsensical questions.

I bet she's the first one to get away with it. Yet, the viewer should thank her and the production staff, especially the writer, for bringing to our living room this lively seminar on our history. Truly, as Philomena Cunk, points out in the end: humankind is on a crossroads. Still, pump up the jam!

I can watch the same episode like 20 times and still laugh to death. The script and dialogues are so brilliant. Each statement about human evolution contains a jewel in word playing- It is a pure Groucho Marx adaptation of Planet Earth. And Diane is just AMAZING. I don't even know how she does it to hold her face straight during some of the interviews... I had seen her in After Life and others and you notice right away how funny she can get. She deserves a price for this one and Cunk on Britain. It doesn't matter if they talk about dogs, discovering fire or cave paintings, there is always a brilliant sentence for each... A must see if you want to have some great laughs. So brilliant and funny.

I am not a fan of comedies, because, ironically, I generally do not find them funny, so I almost bypassed this Netflix series, until I realised it was British, and seriously, who are funnier than the Brits?

I'm so glad I clicked on Cunk. The deadpanned delivery, and the almost naive earnestness with which the questions are delivered to the experts is absolutely genius and hilarious. The experts are probably the stars of this series, vacillating between near hysteria to incredulity.

Only complaint I have about this series is that there are only five episodes, although I don't know if my heart could handle any more than that.
