Headcases (2008)
Society as it is
This comedy series shows celebrities and politicians for what they truly are and what they represent in the social context of todays world. I have no doubt that the usurpers of power (all those that have it) unmasked by this series want it cancelled but that will be a mistake and a serious loss for any chance of meaningful interpretation of western society in the 'naughties'. Of course any comparison with Spitting Image will leave it wanting but that is mainly due to the level of intelligence in the western world being considerably less now than it was 20 years ago, thus Headcases being a more 'stupid' series. If it was a weekly show would be far superior to any political satire show on air know, and a very useful instrument to help young people understand and make sense of this idiosyncratic society that surrounds and chokes us all.
