Love & rhetoric

Whether you’re fuming about politics schmolitics or swooning over love, TV has something to say…

WHO IS AMERICA? (SATIRE)

Season 1 starts on Friday 1 February on M-Net (*101) at 22:35

Need to know: after 2018’s US political circus, we’re afraid to imagine the horrors that comedian Sacha Baron Cohen’s ambush interviews shine a light on. Sacha (famous for his alter egos Ali G and Borat) has four interviewer personas that he swaps between and picks his targets, sets them at ease and gets them to expose their inner dirty bits on TV – as lobbyist Larry Pratt does when he comments that “children can make good soldiers if they haven’t developed a conscience yet”.

Ex-Israeli army colonel Erran Morad (right) is one of Sacha Baron Cohen’s crazy new personas for his political satire series.
