Pretty awful - but at least (as is rare these days) I agree with its sentiment.
In fact, The Apprentice is the most Brexit of TV shows, existing in a vacuum, a landscape of fantastical denial. It bears no relevance to the bona fide business world of terrifying trade deals or ping-pong playing start-ups. It is a jingoistic roadshow that barks about empires and profits with the cameras twirling around London landmarks such as the Gherkin and Embankment. But in reality, it’s mostly shoddy MDF fittings in a windy industrial estate. Every task may as well see the contestants running around attempting to offload a job lot of teeny tiny Union Jack flags to unsuspecting punters. It’s an economic entertainment show in the same way that Monopoly is a banking board game. https://www.irishtimes.com/culture/tv-r ... -1.3244234" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
