.IllusiveKen walks us through the surrealism of watching ServantOfThePeople (now on Netflix), a comedy where Zelenskyy, now the President of Ukraine, plays the President of Ukraine
The most unbelievable part of our two or three various simultaneously unfolding apocalypses is that every one of them is so ready for social media. Ten seconds after something breaks, the takes are flying on Twitter faster than Will Smith’s open hand. Immediately there’s a good guy and a bad guy, there’s a good take and a bad take.
The show is a sitcom, playing up the absurdities of gauche world leaders and petty local corruption and dysfunction as Zelenskyy is dragged through the rigmarole of becoming a world leader. Throughout it all, Zelenskyy’s decidedly not-ready-for-primetime family and his own humble worldview and inexperience are the source of many of the jokes. The rest, though, are why you won’t be able to look away from this thing if you truly dare to watch.
“Why talk about blood again?” an exasperated Zelenskyy retorts. “You’re heading one way, we, another. Let’s go in different directions and we’ll talk in 300 years!”
