I hope he won't be accused of antisemitism. Anyone with a heart will sympathize with the palestinians.

His new show premiered on sky but they release 1 episode a week so now I have to wait also for this one but it will probably tough to watch so maybe one per week isn't the worst idea now I'm think about it 😆
