However John Oliver going this niche in such a crowded market beats me. He's epic, a genius, and simply THE legend.

Alec Houston

This is research driven satire as close to perfection as I have ever seen. The backroom staff for this must be some of the best to ever grace the industry.

Seasons 2-4 are overpriced to high prices as I got season 1, 5, 6 for £24.99 each
