Story
"Viendez au Groland" does not follow a linear narrative with a single continuous story arc; rather, it is a satirical news and documentary-style comedy series. The fundamental "story" revolves around the daily life, politics, and culture of the fictional Republic of Groland, a small, secluded, and vaguely French-speaking nation.
Summary
The premise involves the show's hosts and correspondents presenting "news reports" and "documentaries" that parody real-world journalism, current events, and French society. The humor stems from the eccentric and often absurd laws, customs, and inhabitants of this imaginary nation, where incompetence is the norm and bizarre behavior is commonplace. Characters are recurring but the scenarios change weekly, offering a humorous, often biting, critique of contemporary society through the lens of Groland's bizarre "presidential republic".
