[7.4/10] Good episode. I particularly liked the opening segments. Making fun of Trump for his reaction to the giant envelope from North Korea is like shooting fish in a barrel, but finding humor in the Ukranian journalist who faked his own death is a tough thing that the show pulled off well, and the fake British Monarchy expert from New York was a hilarious oddball story. I especially like the interstitial segment with the head of the British House of Common's polite but pointed insults.
I was colder on the main segment covering guardianship. It seemed like Oliver & Co. offered more on individual horror stories than on broader problems that need reform, and the proposed solutions weren't as clear as the ones the show normally suggests. I did enjoy the little educational segment with Fred Willard, Lily Tomlin, and William Shatner though.
Overall, the main story was a bit weaker than usual, but the other segments made up for it.
I must admit I’m very disappointed this week's show didn’t address Spain's vote of no confidence against our former Prime Minister due to corruption issues (or at least how ridiculously handsome our new Prime Minister is)
