I am a fan of Baron Cohen; I loved loved Ali G, loved Borat, liked Bruno and enjoyed some of the movies he has been in. There are some very funny moments in this series, but too many flat and nasty ones too. My main complaint is the singularity of perspective; even the far-left character is really just a foil to try and 'expose' conservatives. I wish there was a balance to the mockery, which would make it feel cleverer and less like partisan political trolling. As it is, the show has mined a few retired Republicans and a bunch of weird paranoid right-wingers to paint a cliched picture of Trump's America, which ignores the facistic tendancies and behaviour of the far-left too. Three episodes in - I will amend the review if it does start to even out...
