I am procrastinating by watching one of my favourite childhood series, Kulderzipken. It's a Belgian series taking place in the Medieval times but it's so weird
It features
- a very bad and immoral king (but also weirdly not, he threatens his daughter with two weeks without dessert if she burns down his castle)
- a devil who is very bad at being evil ( he prefers playing with his dolls instead, which pisses his mum off, not because it's not masculine, but because she wants him to be cruel)
-The first time we see the main character, your average peasant boy hero, he is putting a cabbage on his head (which he hates)
-the two main servants are the brothers Grimm and they have a weird metal bird thing on which they can record messages for the kingdom
- the clothes of many nobles look surprisingly historically accurate if it weren't for the fact that they all seem to come from different periods (except for the princess, idk what's going on there)
-the mother of the devil becomes the king's confidante somehow
- all of the decor is so ugly
-the Grimm brothers address everyone with "mister", on orders of the king (including, but not limited to: mister the young gentleman the devil & mister your daughter the princess (communist?))
All of that to say that I'm pissed off that tv program writers nowadays are too cowardly to write weird, wacky shit like this
