Tracey Ullman's State of the Union is back for its second season, and episode 1, Blogs and Kisses, showcases the hilarious talent of Ullman as she dives into the world of social media, punditry and politics. The show is a satirical take on current events and Ullman embodies a range of characters from politicians to celebrities in order to poke fun at the state of the nation.

In Blogs and Kisses, Ullman takes on the blogosphere by donning the persona of Tabitha Brumfitt, a blogger with a narcissistic streak. Brumfitt had been featured on the show before, but in this episode, she reveals her true self as she attempts to turn her blog into a television show. Ullman nails the character with her spot-on Australian accent and Brumfitt's over the top personality.

Ullman also tackles the world of political punditry as she recreates an imagined talk show with left and right-leaning commentators. This skit is a spot-on depiction of the modern-day political talk show and showcases Ullman's talent in transforming herself into a number of different on-screen personalities. From the conservative commentator with the slicked back hair to the liberal feminist with the bold lipstick and unruly hair, Ullman proves that she has the versatility to tackle any role.

Another standout moment from the episode is when Ullman becomes Melania Trump, the First Lady of the United States. Ullman captures the essence of Melania with ease, portraying her as a woman who is trapped in her role and unable to speak out against her husband's policies. The skit is both hilarious and poignant as it highlights the pressures of being a political spouse and the role of women in politics.

Tracey Ullman's State of the Union is not just a political show, however. The episode also features Ullman's take on the dating world as she becomes a woman seeking the perfect kiss. The skit is a witty take on the current dating culture, with Ullman's character navigating a series of dates with a range of different men.

Overall, Tracey Ullman's State of the Union season 2 episode 1, Blogs and Kisses, is a strong start to the new season. Ullman's wit and charm are ever-present as she tackles a range of different topics and characters. The show is a must-watch for anyone who enjoys political satire and comedy.
