Tabloid Workers (S02E01)

Not even after a halting hour it is clear where Vít Klusák was heading, but one area where he succeeded was in getting me worked up right away. Watching a group of self-centered freaks is no picnic and the main credit for that goes to tabloid worker number one: an overconfident ignoramus who just gobbled up half the world and speaks at a pace that shows he forgot to quit the cocaine. And he tells the same story a hundred and one ways – that he is just giving people exactly what they want. I get it, there must be something to it, the numbers don't lie. But as soon as he starts boasting that he doesn't release anything but the truth, the figurative knives come out. Once the spotlight shifts to tabloid worker number two, led by Miss Olga "I can't say a single sentence in a normal voice" Štiplová, and they opine that a tabloid journalist is as hardworking and at risk as a war correspondent, it's over. There simply are no answers here. Of course, other than the fact that Pavel Novotný is just doing it for the money, which is why he rarely sees his little one. But there are countless people like that in the world. Their jobs are still better than this filth. (06/05/2014)
