[Netflix] Funnier than the films created by Charlie Brooker for Netflix, the idea is sustained thanks to the character that Diane Morgan has performed for years. This idiot reporter who believes her cousin more than the experts, is the reflection of a society that prefers unidirectional knowledge. The show is not as superficial as it seems, although the comedy is structured around the same idea of anachronistic questions to surprised historians. Philomena Cunk represents the worst face of historical presenteeism, and despite this, she is capable of drawing us a smile from her serious face.

I am in the US, so I was unfamiliar with this character, but it took 5 minutes for me to be laughing hard. Her deadpan, serious delivery of the most ridiculous things [spoiler]"Did the Ancient Romans invent Anal Bleaching", "So were the pyramids build from the top down, or bottom up", and my absolute favorite was right after she talked to the guy about not being able to see the Great Wall of China from space "Is it invisible?" followed by "The real question here, does anyone know if China has a roof?". On Jesus "All paintings of Jesus are either as a Baby or being crucified... Did anyone ever paint him as a baby being crucified?"[/spoiler] If you have Netflix, this is now available in the US, and my only complaint is that there are only 2 seasons...

Sort of a "Borat type" show, and it's pretty hilarious. I can see where some folks might not want to binge on this show because you can get embarrassed on behalf of the folks she asked idiotic questions of, but it's still a pretty funny show.

I was fun at certain points; the humor is very British. However, it overstays its welcome, and kinda grew stale with the episodes.

It was very nice in terms of reviewing history, but cunk would never have been so much not funny.
