De Sterfshow
If you pursued populism, cancel culture and hatred on social media to their extremes, perhaps you would get a weekly, crowd-pulling reality show in which viewers can vote for which compatriot must be executed — literally. This brazen thriller follows Salman Seegers, who starts working for the Sterfshow (Death Show) as a pathologist. It comes easy to him, until a candidate ends up on top of the Death List who is very dear to him.
