The alien character Barakuni, known for his critical views of humanity on social media, is launching a new television series on Kan 11 titled 'Barakuni's Guide to Humanity.' The show, which premiered Sunday, features Barakuni attempting to explain Earth's complexities to his own species, dissecting human behavior and labeling humans as 'the worst species in the galaxy.'

In an interview with ice ahead of the series premiere, Barakuni discussed his life on his home planet, his reasons for residing in Arad, Israel, and his decision to start profiting from humans. He described human concepts like relationships and wars as inventions, contrasting them with his home planet's conflicts, which involve entire planets rather than species fighting themselves. He stated that his home planet has no need for money, a concept he attributes to human invention.

Barakuni explained his newfound need for money stems from his living situation in Arad with his host, Avitar. While not paying rent, Barakuni desires to move out of Avitar's dilapidated apartment, which he described as having mold. His immediate goal is to upgrade from a unit in Arad to a villa in the same city, though his ultimate hope is to return to his home planet after humanity's extinction.

Despite his dissatisfaction with Arad, Barakuni remains there because Avitar 'needs him' and he is teaching him things. When asked about his dreams, Barakuni stated he doesn't have them, as he does not sleep and lacks eyelids. He expressed a strong hope not to be seen in Israel in five years, anticipating his return to his home planet.
