Episode one is about how 2020 has just been one insanity after another. From the possibility of war between the US and Iran to monkeys carrying corona virus that escaped a lab, it has been a crazy year and it's only June. Currently, there are widespread protests against racism and police brutality going on in the US and other countries are protesting to show solidarity, but we didn't want to make that our first episode. So this is a look at the year so far about just how absurd things have gotten in a short amount of time. It honestly sounds like a collection of ideas for Hollywood movies or at least a long black mirror episode.
