I don't subscribe to HBO, but I can catch some of her skits on Youtube. A relative turned me on to them.

She is so talented. Some faves: Camilla going shopping, Angela Merkel learning not to eye-roll.

Get ready for the Melaniabot and the Russian hackers!

This is actually taken from "Tracey Breaks the News" which started a year ago in the UK. IMO, it's one of the best shows she's ever done. It's filmed like SNL, with material shot two days before it goes out (they film a bunch a month prior as well). It appears that this will feature sketches not aired, like Judi Dench wanting a tattoo. I know they shoot more material than they can use as they don't know how much they'll be adding the week of broadcast. The BBC put out sketches that weren't used through social media, too. Unlike the previous two seasons of "Tracey Ullman's Show" there's no laugh track, which is a bonus.

It'll be interesting to see how this was re-cut for an international audience. Brexit is still heavily lampooned, but since it's not a UK-premised season or show anymore, there's more taken on like the Macrons, and Donald is shredded. lol
