The Last Minister

2020 · 2 seasons

A wry, cringe-inducing satire of bureaucratic absurdity, blending dark humor with a sense of futility.

Tagline: We will surprise the country
Overview: When an active loser is appointed the Minister of Planning, no one can imagine what this will lead to. It turns out that the new minis- ter really wants to change people’s lives for the better and for this, together with the team, is actively promoting his own initiatives. True, these initiatives are not always reasonable, and the result is extremely unpredictable.
How it feels: Satirical, dark, cynical and absurd. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Politics, corruption, ambition, class
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
