Waste of Money.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

This show is trying so hard... It's trying so... So hard...It's good that we are getting political satire back on television. And it's a shame, because the voice actors are great and the puppets work for what they need, the problem is the writing.This is the least subtle show I have ever seen. 90% of sketches follow this formula:1) Have character come on screen and call out their 1 character trait (E.G. Eric Pickles is fat, so he comes on and demands food or Lady Gaga wears silly outfits, so she's talking about where she is going to get her next silly outfit)2) Build up to a joke3) Tell joke4) Proceed to beat the joke to death by shoving it in the audiences face in a "DO YOU GET IT YET?!?!?" MANNER.This show lacks any form of subtlety. I hate relating this to Spitting Image, because it's what everything else does. But this show really needs to take a read from their book. Your characters walk in, they build up to a joke whilst taking small jabs at similar topics, then they tell the main joke and then they leave it. That formula worked.I mean, one sketch I saw was pretty much a solid minute of "Eric Pickles is Fat" jokes, with maybe a "Ed Miliband has big teeth" joke thrown in. Come on, anyone that knows about comedy knows that you don't stand about for a solid minute going "Wasn't that joke funny? It works on so many levels!"And for the last time, dropping the F-bomb is not a joke in and of itself. You use the F-bomb to emphasize the main joke.

I fall into the age bracket that grew up on Spitting Image, I was a kid and knew who the Politicians were, what Party they were in, and had an idea of what was happening in the world, a lot of it was down to Spitting Image.Newzoids went some way towards satisfying the gap, I liked the production values, the characters themselves, they certainly looked the part. Some characters I enjoyed more then others, I don't think i'll ever forget Mrs Crown's boys. The highlight for me every week had to be Nigel Farage's stand up comedy show, so funny. I imagine the show was helped by the timing of the election, the whole country's interest in Politics had increased, and the characters were relevant. I would like to see more from them, imagine the fun they could have had with Cameron's past, Jeremy Corbyn, Farage etc.I don't think i'll ever forget Nigel Farage's Ordinary bloke, or the Election song, both were amazing.We need more political Satire. Series 2 please.
