I read an interview where he said he was having a hard time making it funny until he decided to add Hitler, and from there it just worked. Such an odd comment but absolutely true. Having a laughable Hitler made the whole thing just the right kind of absurd.

A bit of symmetry I noticed as well. The series starts with Rebecca seeing George’s balls and him telling her to fuck off, and ends with Rupert seeing George’s balls and him telling him to fuck off.

It’s a somewhat realistic story about hope and the best parts of humanity in a world where it feels like those things are hanging on by a thread. That’s how I feel about it anyway. Could be just me.
