Well, subscribers are recommending an eight-episode Netflix series that fans of The Office are bound to love.
The mockumentary-style comedy series takes a playful swipe at Poland's 17th-century noblemen.
It follows the eccentric Jan Paweł Adamczewski, played by Bartłomiej Topa, as he attempts to secure his place in history - with chaotic, over-the-top antics.
The self-appointed lord of a tiny village, he navigates absurd family feuds as well as clashes with both peasants and rivals.

Each episode cleverly combines period-drama tropes, Polish commonwealth history and faux-documentary interviews, making for an entertaining watch.
The show debuted in December 2023 and is made up of eight episodes.
Better yet, the show has been renewed for a second season, landing in late 2025, as well as a third. What more could you want in your next binge-watch?
