Ok, this is an odd one. And worthy of your attention. The premise seems imaginative but if you've an ear to world history and current events, the story is too plausible to be disregarded as fiction inspired by unrealistic fantasy. If you can't see the parallels to the insidious culture of indulging the sickest whims of our out-of-touch rulers, then this will probably be more irritating than relevant. Stop trying to compare it to anything else because you will mislead anyone curious about it. It's dark. Don't expect it to be humorous. Ironic, yes. Funny, no. The concept is relevant and the performances are fantastic. If you're looking for lighthearted entertainment, then this will probably not be for you. It requires a thoughtful, critical, and open mind to appreciate the satire. It's uncomfortable. It's disturbing in a very biting and calculated way to provoke thought. I like it.
