Summary

Russian TV netvork TNT, their HBO equivalent, has just presented a new, state sponsored, "comedy" series about Joe Biden, visiting Russia, because the sanctions are not working and all the Russians are too happy. I am reading the leaked pilot script. There are no jokes. And the propaganda part is...baffling. Imagine the usual ultra fascism, USA bad, Russia AMAZING, with every stereotype ever, bu...also...the love interest of the main Russian character, the main female character of the show is a schoolteacher who is forced to work as a prostitute, because of poverty. This is unintentionally bad, turned kafka-esque, and I am...at a loss here.
