Netflix uploaded to its platform the fifth part of the mockumentary saga where Philomena Cunk (Diane Morgan) covers the history of humanity in an ironic and shrewd way. The satirical scripts returned to the scene.
The “documentary filmmaker” Philomena Cunk returned with her stinging questions and her stubborn analysis this time to tell the evolution of humanity from its beginnings to the present day.. From caveman times to the revolutionary invention of the internet, through wars, religions and the space race, This mockumentary tells the story of the human being in an ironic, critical and shrewd way.
Diane Morgan give away a formidable job interpreting the journalist Philomena Cunkwho puts his interviewees in trouble with the questions and reasoning he asks during the conversations. The British actress recovered the great level of humor that she knew how to show in After Lifethe series in which she shined as an office partner of a depressed and intolerant Ricky Gervais.
The program has the perfect format for a documentary and the maximum peak of adrenaline appears in the talks with the experts on each subject, in which the effort of each one is seen to ignore the ridiculousness of the protagonist’s proposals and maintain seriousness. that the investigation requires.
cunk on earth (or The Earth according to Philomena Cunk) has five episodes presented on the BBC during 2022 that make you laugh but also reflect. Using humor like Monty Python used to do (that group of six comedians who treated local problems with irony and built a fierce criticism of British idiosyncrasies), the series is a discovery of the platform.
on this path walks Philomena Cunk his study of human history. Making his interviewees uncomfortable at times but bringing a smile every time with his reflections and conclusions. The chaining of all the themes, characters and different eras that unites makes the series fluid, which goes by very quickly and can even start and end in an afternoon.
cunk on earth is the fifth installment of the false documentaries that Diane Morgan presents, produced by Charlie Brooker, the creator of Black Mirror, and directed by Christian Watt. The previous ones in this saga were:
- Cunk & Other Humans (2019)
- Cunk on Britain (2018)
- Cunk on Christmas (2016)
- Cunk on Shakespeare (2016).
A good excuse to fully immerse yourself in a great comedian who is not well known on this side of the planet.
