Back in the 80s this show was hilarious. Like many others I became aware of it through the "Land of Confusion" video by Genesis. The 2020 version is soso at best. Some jokes are good and hit the point. But there are also complete episodes that didn't even produce a smile from me. If you are of the older generation and remember the world history from the past you should probably better watch the old episodes. That is, if you can find them anywhere.
