I’m so glad that they have decided to revive these! The older ones have been doing the rounds online lately!

Seems apt for me to post these on Taiwan’s National Day: From the Island Nation franchise (the free-to-watch single episodes on YT; full series is behind a paywall on their website), a historical drama series in Taiwan.
The second season re-enacts the island’s first presidential election and missile crisis from the PRC in 1996, which featured the BTV newsroom (a parody of TVBS, Taiwan’s first satellite broadcaster) in the main storyline alongside the political parties. The historical photos were inserted as the news channel’s ‘exclusive’ images.
BTV’s primetime political debate/phone-in show - a parody to TVBS’ synonymous show that ran from 1994 to 2013.
