Brass Eye

Brass Eye remains a landmark of British television, a sharp-edged satire that redefined the boundaries of investigative journalism. Created by Chris Morris, the series dismantled the sensationalism of 1990s news media by tricking public figures into endorsing absurd causes, most famously the fictional drug 'Cake.' Its cultural footprint is deep; it predicted the rise of post-truth politics and the performative nature of celebrity activism. By exposing the hollow core of moral panics, the show forced audiences to question the authority of the televised image. The legacy of its uncompromising humor persists in the DNA of modern political comedy. Given the cyclical nature of media trends, you should set a reminder for any potential news regarding future revivals or archival releases.
