Today we introduce the Ukrainian comedy TV series Servant of the People Season 2.
Title Слуга Народа 2 сезон (2017), alias The Story of Vasha.
The Servant of the People series consists of three seasons plus a big movie, and the viewing order is as follows:
Servant of the People Season 1 (2015);
Servant of the People Movie (2016);
Servant of the People Season 2 (2017);
Servant of the People Season 3 (2019).
Given that the actor Vladimir Zelenskiy has actually become the president of Ukraine, the show is not expected to have a fourth season, and viewers who want to watch it can enjoy it.
Zelenskiy's ability to approach reality through drama is driven by both Western forces and more importantly, the Ukrainian people have become deeply desperate for corruption and have reached the point of medical treatment.
Ukraine ranked 145th in the 2017 Global Corruption Perceptions Index rankings and 158th in the 2018 Global Corruption Perceptions Index rankings.
Corruption has become the biggest obstacle to the normal operation of the Ukrainian state, and when everyone in a country hates corruption, and everyone hates that they have no chance to be corrupt, and everyone wants to get benefits from the upper position, the country will be crumbling.
Zelenskiy vigorously anti-corruption in the play, so that the audience got an inexplicable pleasure. Even if the audience knows that this is just a joke, they are still full of hope that all this can happen in real life.
After the success of the first season of "Servant of the People", the production budget of the second season is obviously much more sufficient, and the quality of the finished film is much better than that of the simple first season.
The set is more gorgeous, the special effects are more dense, and the scenes are more grand. The second season was filmed beyond the realm of sitcoms.
Even if you can't mock those politicians in real life, it's okay to make fun of them in the play.
Thanks to the abundant funding, the length of the second season has increased to 28 minutes per episode, which is 40% more than the 20 minutes per episode in the first season, which is full of sincerity.
At the beginning of the season, there are plenty of comedic elements.
Episode 1 is a special spoof of Vasily's birthday, imitating a scene in WhichE snow is stabbed to death in A Song of Ice and Fire.
All mortals have a death, and all mortals need to serve.
Here it is adapted as "The people are about to protest, they are going to protest against the people." ”
Others ask for money for birthdays, and Vasily wants to die for birthdays.
In the first season, the three oligarchs who only saw the back and did not see the real person finally revealed the true face of Lushan.
The three oligarchs, Nemchuk, Mamatov and Roizman, each control one-third of the parliament, and only their joint efforts can push the bill through, and if the oligarchs disagree, any bill is a piece of waste paper.
Vasily carried out radical, radical reforms. When a country falls into a situation of life and death, it is necessary for leaders to show the courage and boldness of a hero who broke his wrist and lead the whole country to a rebirth. Any small repair will not help, it will not be broken, and only when it is pushed over can there be a chance to turn over.
The plot of the second season is inextricably linked to the big movie, continuing the clues of the trial of former Prime Minister Yuri.
The first 6 episodes are warming up for the main line, Vasily is still busy dealing with internal and external troubles, in addition to the three oligarchs in the country continue to create trouble, external Ukraine also needs to compete with Greece for loans from the World Bank.
It's funny to watch Ukraine and Greece each try to sell their countries to misery. There is no one who can take international diplomatic events to the forefront.
Episodes 7 through 14 are close to the "Servant of the People" movie.
Many of the shots directly follow the scenes from the big movies, such as the president negotiating with the triple oligarchs, strafing the parliament, and the scene where the bald foreign minister Seryosha deals with the IMF president, which is the same as the plot of the big movie.
In short, the big movie is the second season of the deleted version, and the big movie is cut and cut, and then expanded, it becomes several episodes of the second season. The essence of the big movie is all revealed, such as the hotel chase scene.
The advantage of expansion is that the plot is perfected and enriched, so that some of the more jumpy plots in the big movie can be fully expounded, which can make everyone more detailed about the events.
The natural end was that Vasily, with the help of Yura, divided the oligarchs and the president took real power.
The good times did not last long, and Vasily, who had little political experience, was overshadowed by Surikov and forced to announce his resignation.
Episodes 15 through 24 revolve around ukraine's presidential election.
The whole presidential election is like a circus performance, full of drama and full of slots. Presidential candidates are manipulated by oligarchs like jumping beam clowns, jumping up and down, ugly. On vasily's side, on the other hand, he resigned and ran again. In order to raise start-up funds, it really broke the mouth, and it really looked pitiful.
At the end of the season, there is a suspense about whether Vasily will be elected. And look at the next season's breakdown.
Of course, drama is close to reality, and reality and drama overlap, which is an afterthought.
After Vasily was elected, he insisted on finishing the third season, and the series was over. I also hope that Zelenskiy can lead Ukraine out of the predicament as he showed in the play.
Not broken, not standing, leaving it to death and being reborn,
Reform is not easy, and the road ahead is long and the original intention is kept.
