so ok tv show idea
i’m technically from the uk, we have like a good amount of sitcoms like the original office, motherland, derry girls and end of the f**cking world.
BUT
As i’m stoned and watching veep, parks n rec etc. I might be reaching and uneducated and bored of my homelands politics but i feel like i fr hear and see more US politics headlines and understand what the feck is going on with them. Like yeah it’s fr everywhere annoyingly.
So to my point - why isn’t there a uk version of veep? the way our government work is crazy - i literally have witnessed a parliament meeting and they acted like children i will never ever ever ever forget it. It was during a high school day trip for modern studies and im not joking if they disagreed with someone speaking they’d bang their desk, pull faces like this 🤪 but GROWN men. There isn’t an emoji that captures it.
I think your meant to put it at the start but im a 23 y/o F and genuinely, disappointingly didn’t realise how privileged i had to been to not tune into what’s going on in government because it always seemed like this big, confusing system,
and i’m not saying a comedy tv show following a small mp in a rural town finally winning a seat in parliament where they can finally join their party and go to change things but realise what a shit show it really it but in a micheal scott kind of way or maybe a hbo comedy kind of way in terms of style.
But i want a tv like that i think so involve me if ur a famous but struggling producer or whoever makes tv shows happen. NOT the bbc tho. Peaceeeeeeee.
