I don't want to be very negative, but yesterday I wrote a review of a terrible movie titled Your Place or Mine. But what do I help you if I only tell you what you shouldn't stream? I guess you want to stream something, that is why you have a Netflix subscription in the first place.
But, what should you stream instead of Your Place or Mine? The answer is easy. Cunk on Earth!
I have little experience with so-called mockumentaries, but as you understand from the word, it is kind of mocking documentaries. It is making fun of them. Believe me, that is what happens in this series. It is just hilarious from the first second and the cool thing is that Diane Morgan actually takes you through history, she mentions real eras, historical events, and more... she just gets it all wrong all along the way. She asks the wrong questions, she tells terrible stories from her own life and her family, and in the end, it is one fantastic soup.
If you are extremely serious, you will not like it. But if you have humor and like it when people make fun of reality, this is absolutely for you. Can you imagine sitting in front of a professor, making a real and serious interview, only to ask them whether they believe the pyramids were built from the top and downward or from the bottom and upward? Or asking another professor about whether or not Beethoven could compose music while dead? Yes, she asks such questions. Of course she has it wrong, because Beethoven wasn't dead, but deaf, but still, she keeps on asking her stupid questions, and we sit at home laughing.
If you look for something to stream, watch Cunk on Earth!!
What is a mockumentary?
A mockumentary is a type of film or television show that is presented in the style of a documentary but is actually a work of fiction. It's meant to be humorous and often uses humor to make fun of real-life situations, institutions, or people. The format allows the filmmakers to use creative license in their storytelling while still maintaining the look and feel of a documentary. This style of filmmaking is used to create comedic effect, often by portraying exaggerated or absurd situations and characters.
