This is a left-leaning political comedy show loosely inspired by John Oliver's Last Week Tonight. With a reputable team of journalists, political scientists, comedians and an array of guests, Gregório Duvivier finally gives Brazil a taste of the efficiency of comedy when confronting the difficult reality Brazil faces.
The comedy is, at points, secondary to the absurdity and/or sadness of the truth as Brazil's future darkens. Still, Duvivier remains tactful and creates daring monologues that stay with you way longer than each episode's duration. While we still don't know how efficient the show would be in "normal circumstances", it has shown its value by providing educational comedy that makes you think about where we're headed.
A game changer in Brazilian television, this is a brave political dramedy with bite that I hope will continue getting renewed by HBO.
