The writers should be ashamed for this inaccurate and misleading portrayal of Georgia and the Georgian people. What was the point of creating this episode and dedicating it to Georgia just to smear it with lies? Absolutely terrible watch.
Georgia is not Russia - the writers need to be waken up from this idiotic Soviet fantasy that they are dreaming about. This episode being released in 2017 and still being so wrong is ridiculous.
I was hoping that they would at least get the food right but instead they showed a scene where soup was served to the guests. Georgia is all about hospitality and serving amazing feasts with traditional dishes - having the dinner table empty and serving soup is ridiculous.
And no, fathers do not tell their daughters that their brother should be president and not them in Georgia - that sounds more like where the writers of this show grew up. Georgia has a woman president by the way, hopefully the United States will catch up too.
What is really "grotesque" about Georgia is this show's portrayal of it.

Nobody loves the satire aspects of the show more than me but there is always a line you can not cross, for this episode it is portraying Georgians like Russians with their names, accents, what they're speaking about etc. I absolutely love this show but this episode was horribly written and the jokes were not funny. As soemone who experienced first hand the russia invading and bombing georgia watching this terribly written episode feels like a slap in the face. There have been plenty foreign/ western shows. Movies and etc, that have portrayed Georgia and it's people in the same genre as this show and they have done it better because when the writers actually do the bare minimum research they write better jokes, better scenes etc.
"Georgia" was written by Billy Kimball and directed by Becky Martin. Billy Kimball and Becky Martin, you must be really proud of your creation. Nikolai (?), you can't come up with better name for Georgian presidential candidate? Why not Zbigniew or Henry? Why did not you use matryoshkas or play Kalinka to better describe the spirit of Georgia? If your brain can not comprehend that Georgia is not Russia, you should not be doing what you are doing.
Pure disrespect towards Georgian culture, people,food and everything we stand for. Portrayed purely through stereotypes and misconceptions, absolutely disgusting.
Why is always so, for Americans every post Soviet country is associated with Russia.
Georgian police has different uniforms from Russian and in Georgia weather is not cold as in Russia, so police do not ware furry hats like in Russia.
Georgians has never eaten horses, again you are mistaken with another nation.
Again Nikolai is Russian name, Georgian equivalent is Nikoloz.
The temperature in Finland is lower than in Georgia. So Minna Häkkinen wearing the furry hat in Georgia is really ridiculous.
You could pay more attention to make episode more authentic.
Positive side, Georgian words were correct and not gibberish like in other American movies and tv shows.
