That episode was very different from what we can find on their platforms now, and it received a grade of six out of ten. All three were left with a great desire to apply the professor's corrections, which is why last summer they decided to resume the project voluntarily and extracurricularly. Despite changing the program's structure, they kept the characters of Gina Bashina, Luz Phallus, and Consol Adó. </p>]]></description>

With a mockumentary format, it showed the interaction between the various members of a jury. The linchpin that made it a phenomenon was the blend of reality and fiction: the protagonist, Ronald Gladden, was a real person who believed he was actually part of a jury. The truth was that it was all fake and that his fellow jurors were actors, a premise reminiscent of the film <em>The Truman Show</em>. After that experience, the same team has put together a second installment with a completely different setting. <em>The Jury: Corporate Retreat</em> arrives this Friday on Prime Video with three episodes. The next two will premiere on March 27th and the last two on April 3rd. </p>]]></description>

All this in a Europe that already has a war, that of Ukraine; in a world that already has ethnic cleansing, that of <a href="https://www.ara.cat/internacional/proxim-orient/europa-adverteix-israel-no-annexar-territoris-cisjordania-resposta-reconeixement-palestina_6_5505125.html" >of Israel on Palestine</a>, and that spreads to Trump's rule of law. And Trump is a dangerous president, because what he says (his egomaniacal UN speech) and what he does (deploying the army in the streets of his cities) allows us to assert, without sounding exaggerated, that he must be thinking about perpetuating himself in power.</p>]]></description>

"When the festival was founded, there weren't the number of events dedicated to the world of comics that there are now. Eighteen years ago, it was easy to associate the Comic Festival with comedy, but today the name is very confusing," explains Xavier Valentí, one of the two co-directors. "The name change was something we considered years ago because we saw that it was confusing and that some people thought it was the festival." <em>of the</em> comic and not the Comic Festival," adds Agustí Custey, the other co-director.
