Is the new Sacha Baron Cohen series satire, or a cringeworthy prank show?
Our screen panel discusses the relevance of Sacha Baron Cohen's new show, Who Is America?, in 2018.
Every Monday, the q screen panel convenes to look at big stories happening in the film and television worlds. This week, comedian Ivan Decker, arts writer Tina Hassannia and CBC's Amanda Parris join guest host Talia Schlanger to discuss Sacha Baron Cohen's new satirical Showtime series, Who Is America?, which premiered last night. Sarah Palin, the former governor of Alaska, called her experience on the show "evil, exploitative and sick." The q screen panel digs into the show and talks about the relevance of this kind of comedy in 2018.
Who is America? is available for Canadians on CraveTV, with a new release every Sunday at 10:00.
