Last night, we got something that looks like something between the close and the exciting first episode of a regional war. From a television point of view, at least, the Mochash newscast sequence was gold, not to mention a cult in the making.
It's hard to be angry with the writers of "Wonderful Land" who have been dealing for the last year, since the days of the regime revolution, with a reality so disturbed that it is almost impossible to satirize it because everything is dwarfed. But it turns out that the national fatigue was also well felt in the "Eretz" writers' room, and last night's program was its weakest since the beginning of the season. To be iconic and unforgettable. Yaniv Biton as Eitan ben Eliyahu carries an inexhaustible comedic potential. Beaton provided a very accurate imitation but received a text so disgusting that it could have come from his own mouth. The climax of the episode came with Tamir Bar - the biggest star who is not used enough in Eretz, who was sent to a hidden camera sketch and tried to sell. The characters of Yaakov and Rina (Yeron Berald and Shani Cohen), the most Israeli Israeli couple ever, were called to the flag. Last night, something in their physical humor, combined with the pause from talking about the Iranian bomb, worked and managed to raise a smile. It's probably why the program's bright spots came precisely from the moments of complete nonsense. The writers of "Eretz" exaggerate much more. After all, what is the point of a satire show that feels like a more sane and fair version of reality? That's probably how the show ends.
