Chris Addison of "The Thick of It" directed the latest episode. Thought that was pretty interesting.

The last part with the lawyer was lame, but solid episode otherwise.

So Selina and Tom's source of tension was really just that they wanted to gently caress each other? I wasn't totally sure how to read that scene.

Is it just me or this season has drastically dropped in quality? There is no subtlety anymore and every character is more of a caricature now. Everything about Jonah is absolutely transparent and unfunny.
I don't like the Jonah running for office subplot because it's so blindingly unrealistic, but I don't think the show's drastically gone downhill. It definitely leans more on caricatures than before but funny's still funny.

The best part about those campaign videos is how they linger just a split-second too long at the end and makes Jonah look like a serial killer.

China's not giving up on Tibet, what the gently caress is this?

Also white characters pretending to be fluent in Chinese without any sense of self-awareness is insanely embarrassing. Reminds me of the time House of Cards tried to do it.

Do you mean Minna? Because yes, how dare the Finnish international peacemaker character, who is portrayed as super competent compared to our gang of idiots, speak another language besides English on this comedy show!
I'm saying the Chinese she's speaking is actually real bad. If you understand the language in any measure the whole scene looks really stupid.
