P.I.S. – Politiets Indsats Styrke (original) (raw)
P.I.S. - Politiets indsatsstyrke is a Danish, satirical mockumentary from 2001. The show was originally broadcast on TV2 Zulu. P.I.S. pretends to be a TV-documentary about Politiets IndsatsStyrke - a caricature of the real-world Politiets Aktionsstyrke, the Danish equivalent of a SWAT team. The film crew accompanies the unit, especially officer John Schmidt (Jonas Schmidt), both at work and in private. Initially the unit is pictured very convincingly as an actual police unit but as the show progress, the unit’s missions, attitudes and actions become more and more absurd, until it is obvious to viewers that it is a satirical mockumentary. When the first episodes were shown, many viewers thought it was an actual documentary.

When the first episodes were shown, many viewers thought it was an actual documentary. The abbreviation P.I.S. means piss in Danish, which should be a dead give-away about the nature of the show. The style of the show, however, convinced many people that it was a documentary, and that the abbreviation was just an unfortunate, but real, occurrence. Other Danish police and army institutions sound peculiar in Danish, when abbreviated, such as the Danish Defence Intelligence Service (da: Forsvarets Efterretningstjeneste - FE) sounding like the Danish word for fairy, or the police equivalent (PET), hence P.I.S. wasn't too far off. The characters of the show shows an assortment of politically incorrect reactions towards the world and especially their (new) colleagues, such as racism and sexism, schadenfreude when a newly arrived female colleague accidentally shoots herself in the face and dies from her wounds, overzealousness resulting in unnecessary deaths, shooting Muslims suspects almost on sight, careless handling of loaded weapons, driving under the influence, and an almost complete lack of remorse when something has gone awry.
