[7.4/10] Good episode. I particularly liked the opening segments. Making fun of Trump for his reaction to the giant envelope from North Korea is like shooting fish in a barrel, but finding humor in the Ukranian journalist who faked his own death is a tough thing that the show pulled off well, and the fake British Monarchy expert from New York was a hilarious oddball story. I especially like the interstitial segment with the head of the British House of Common's polite but pointed insults.
I was colder on the main segment covering guardianship. It seemed like Oliver & Co. offered more on individual horror stories than on broader problems that need reform, and the proposed solutions weren't as clear as the ones the show normally suggests. I did enjoy the little educational segment with Fred Willard, Lily Tomlin, and William Shatner though.
Overall, the main story was a bit weaker than usual, but the other segments made up for it.
