“Let’s work the problem people. Let’s not make things worse by guessing.”
Brass Eye (1997)
Brass Eye is not satire for casual viewing. It’s satire as weaponry. Morris takes the British public's trust in authority, celebrity endorsement, and media sensationalism, and systematically dismantles it. Episodes on drugs, crime, and moral decline aren't just parodies. They are indictments of a society that believes anything it's told if delivered with enough sincerity.
