Viki, Köpi, and Jenni Poikelus’ New Show is Completely Useless – But You Still End Up Watching It

A review of a new Finnish entertainment show featuring Jenni Poikelus, Köpi Kallio, and Viki Eerikkilä describes it as pointless yet engaging and entertaining.

Taneli Topelius reviews a new entertainment show featuring Jenni Poikelus, Köpi Kallio, and Viki Eerikkilä, arguing that while the show appears to be entirely unnecessary, it manages to captivate viewers nonetheless. The teams in the show engage in play games, earning points, with humor arising from banter among the contestants. While Viki's hosting style is described as bland and stiff initially, the show's fast pace improves as it progresses, drawing in the audience with its engaging format.

Topelius mentions that the show's significant advantage is its concise hour-long format, making it manageable for viewers. The TV magazine critique highlights that although 'Kopla' is inherently a frivolous entertainment program, such characteristics have never deterred either producers from creating such content or audiences from watching. Yet, despite these limitations, the trio of Poikelus, Kallio, and Eerikkilä deliver enough entertainment value to keep viewers intrigued, providing enough surprises while maintaining familiar premises that allow viewers to engage without having to grasp complex concepts.

The article also touches on the interesting dynamic of pairing Viki and Köpi – commonly known as a radio duo – in reversed roles for this show, with Viki as the host and Köpi in a different supportive capacity. This adds a layer of curiosity and fun to the program, enticing fans of the duo to follow their new on-screen personalities and interactions.
