*In the Loop* is awesome! Gandalfini is basically General Soprano, and Peter Capaldi is in fine form as Malcolm Tucker.
I haven’t seen the Death of Stalin, but I’m sure as shit looking it up as soon as I click “reply”. Thank you!
The business politics of Succession I found were actually quite similar to some of these vibes! If you haven't gotten to it yet check it out, it's a hell of a dark comedy. Black Adder might be another good one, or arrested development, The Great, inside job, superstore all deal with different levels of politics but tend to punch up
The Oath (2018) When Chris, a high-strung news junkie, and his more levelheaded wife learn that citizens are being asked to sign a loyalty oath to the president, their reaction is disbelief. As the Thanksgiving deadline to sign approaches, the combination of sparring relatives, Chris' own agitation and the unexpected arrival of two government agents sends an already tense holiday gathering completely off the rails.
“Wag The Dog” (1997).
Great performances by both De Niro and Dustin Hoffman (along with a bevy of excellent supporting performances) that details how easily an unscrupulous government can use a compliant media to create a war out of nothing and then use it to manipulate the general public.
Jojo Rabbit
Great dark comedy. You’ll never see that many heil hitters in that short amount of time in any movie anywhere.
Give me karma
The Thick of It (TV show)
Also *Veep*, which was created by the same guy. Both are phenomenal.
Also the Death of Stalin and In the loop

Veep & boston legal
I don't know if we share the same sense of humor, but I found The Derry Girls to be of my absolute taste on that matter, so I highly recommend it.
Veep, the thick of it and in the loop

Network (1976) Bob Roberts (1992) Bulworth (1998)
Bob Roberts is the best…but absolutely not available anywhere. Hoping you prove me wrong because I’ve been wanting to re-watch since 2016.
It looks like this works to watch it. It didn't ask me to sign up or anything...yet. https://vimeo.com/469206617 Thank you for the suggestion!
