The series successfully walks the line of making fun of the stupid stuff that happens at the Parliament without making it seem like every cent spent on it is a complete waste of taxpayer money. Instead, most characters in the series seem genuinely well-intentioned: They are pursuing what they think is the best for the people of Europe, but sometimes their capability for thought is somewhat lacking, sometimes their methods are extremely ruthless. And then there is the final boss: The slow and incomprehensible grinding of EU bureaucracy.
