Last week’s scheduled episode of this faux documentary series was postponed, because of violence befalling the pretend TV crew in its satire of HBO’s Vice documentary series. It was thought insensitive to televise in the immediate wake of the shooting deaths last week of a TV crew in Virginia – but this week, apparently, it’s okay. Bill Hader and Fred Armisen play absurdly reckless reporters tracking down a ruthless drug lord south of the border. Helen Mirren introduces the host and founder of Dronez, played by Jack Black, who in turn introduces Dronez: The Hunt for El Chingon, in the very modern guerrilla style of Vice.
