There is no point denying it — The Trump Show, the craziest comedy the God of TV has ever produced, has been fizzling out. Yes, the ‘Storming of the Capitol’ episode was a dramatic denouement. The absurd sight of ridiculously dressed QAnoners stumbling into an accidental attempt at a government coup was shockingly hilarious. But the violent scenes left people depressed. The divine scriptwriters appeared to have lost the plot, gone off the deep end, ‘jumped the shark’, as they say.
The networks tried to move forward by putting The Biden Show, a geriatric version of The West Wing, on prime time. But audiences so far aren’t sure how seriously they should take the storyline. Plus, we’re all aware, even if we haven’t been following, that The Trump Show is still rolling. It’s now in what could be its final season: ‘Impeachment 2.0: The Last Laugh’. Critics are not expecting much. Trump, the charismatic lead, has largely been written out of the script.
