I’d like something more extended and literally episodic the way the word looks?

    Seriously. “Today the secretary of defense with a drinking problem reveals military secrets to a reporter due to a texting error.”

      Along the same lines, from the same writer/creator, Armando Iannucci, there’s The Death of Stalin. The absurdity of how the inner circle navigated the politics around Stalin, including after his death, is hilarious but also a good look at how these power dynamics work in an authoritarian, despotic government.

      Or also from Iannucci, Avenue 5, which basically is set in the future where all of this political nonsense continues, and is in the background of a comedy about a space cruise ship.
