There are countries worth of parody. Well, most of them are worth of parody. But this show tried to parody a country that just… doesn't exist. And so no one found it funny.

well as somebody from Romania, i can tell you this much, the show paints a very real Romania from 1990 till 2000 , when the President at the time look democratic but did not act democratic , was authoritarian but not really , looked like the president hold the power but he actually did not for me this show got a 10/10.

Oh wow, a buncha racists that ruined Europe and know NOTHING of Russian history, actively support real Nazis, and have ruined all media— THEY cant make a good satire? I AM SO SHOCKED I'M SHAKING RN

@NoggleBoggle

shame. Its such a great concept..

@davidfacci6643

you guys are taking this show way too literally. it’s meant to be entertaining and have nuances of various dictatorships. it’s a miniseries. jesus christ.. it’s a work of fiction. relax.

E. European veep basically. But not as good

Reminds me of the way ubisoft (and big video game studios in general) writes politics, or rather doesn't, they dress everything up with highly charged political symbols and references but stop short of actually saying anything for fear of actually taking a side or having a position on anything.
