Maakana Show is a 3D computer-animated comedy in the Maldives directed by Yamin Rasheed.[1] It was shown on Raaje TV.[2]

A ’long-running animated political satire show over the use of “socially unacceptable” slang or obscene language.”, it faced censorship issues in 2019.[3][4]

The title of the program comes from the Maldivian name of the grey heron, with pejoratiive overtones.[5]
