Fresh humour, sarcasm & absurdity. Not for everyone
It's the first time I watch a mockumentary, and the first time I see the character of Philomena Cunk. I love sarcasm and it's been a while since I've seen something this funny!
Within the first minute of the first episode, her humour sets the tone brilliantly! You obviously have to play the game with unexpected questions and far-off conclusions. Yet, in all the fakeness, you can find a gem of satire on all topics.
Although you won't learn much, as some would use that to undermine the series, I think that's the point of a mock...
Some have said it's meaningless, so If I would ask myself why this piece of work exist, beyond just jokes, i think the art of satire and the absurdity genre are great ways to bring important questions about our current world. I think That's why many people have enjoyed this show, and sarcasm in general. All this grand talk about civilization was brought in a mockery to reflect on our current era and the relevance of history.
This series had great lines overall, even if I found a few just weird.
Some experts reacted brilliantly as well. They had to take the host as seriously as possible.
What could have been better: I wish there were more episodes, and I would have hoped for a less western-centered focus... although they do criticize this themeselves.
I wish the experts had time to talk a bit more , but it showed that it was really not the point of series !
