WHAT’S SO BRILLIANT ABOUT THE
SERIES CREATED BY ARMANDO, WHO
CREATED VEEP AND ONE OF MY
FAVORITE SATIRES OF LAST YEAR,
"DEATH OF STALIN."

THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO BE SOCIAL
NORMS START GETTING STRIPPED
AWAY AND YOU’RE LEFT WITH A
HIERARCHY THAT ESSENTIALLY HAS
NO POWER, A CAPTAIN WHO HAS NO
CONTROL AND YOU’RE STUCK ON A
SHIP THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ON
A JOURNEY FOR A FEW WEEKS AND
IT’S NOW POTENTIALLY A MATTER OF
YEARS.
