It is fantastic - absolutely wonderful. It revels in and plays with it’s historical inaccuracy. It wanders more and more away from history but remains incredibly entertaining. The performances are all fantastic and I cannot wait for the (already confirmed) third season.
Along the same lines “Dickinson” on AppleTV is another historically inaccurate comedy with a strong woman as the protagonist (and Wiz Khalifa) that is also a delight

Yep, that was one of our lockdown shows, very pleasant. Of course we decided we wanted to visit but disappointed to hear it’s apparently a touristy hell. Which I guess shouldn’t be surprising.

Loved it, I describe it as Drunk History crossed with Game of Thrones by way of Iannucci. Huzzah! For weeks after watching it was hard not to throw glasses across the room when finished with a beverage.

As represented by the two characters? Which is which though? The film seems to be loaded with themes that you could spend a long time unpacking and then there is some astonishing imagery…

Not sure what the mysterious competition is about, but the linked article says that the end of this season (and the series) is really the beginning. Of what? Not sure! They just say WW2 and beyond.
It’s Black History Month everyone… here are some possible docs or shows to watch…

Gerald Durrell’s books about the experience are also wonderful.

Having said that, the final episode had some moments of real warmth and, dare i say, hope.
This is a nice review of a show a lot of people don’t even know exists. It really is funny in a Midwestern way:
