Script for the pilot episode of the new Russian "comedy" series about Joe Biden's trip to Russia. It's fails so bad at everything, including propaganda, that it turns from 'so bad it's good' to kafkaesque existentional nightmare.

Show Notes
Russian TV netvork TNT, their HBO equivalent, has just presented a new, state sponsored, "comedy" series about Joe Biden, visiting Russia, because the sanctions are not working and all the Russians are too happy. I am reading the leaked pilot script. There are no jokes. And the propaganda part is...baffling. Imagine the usual ultra fascism, USA bad, Russia AMAZING, with every stereotype ever, bu...also...the love interest of the main Russian character, the main female character of the show is a schoolteacher who is forced to work as a prostitute, because of poverty. This is unintentionally bad, turned kafka-esque, and I am...at a loss here.
