The Politician

I have just seen the first episode and this show is so fresh with never a dull moment.

First of all, the acting in this series is phenomenal and the cast is amazing. Ben Platt's character Payton is truly layered as are most of the characters.

Secondly, the visuals of most scenery is beautiful and makes The Politician an even bigger delight to watch.

At last I want to say that Ryan Murphy and his team did it again and better than ever. I'm trying to think of something negative but I truly cannot find it at this moment.

I hope you all enjoy The Politician as much as I am doing.

No, I don't think this Show deserves a 10/10 but it's certainly not a 2 or a 4, that's just ridiculous. It's an 8.5 at its best and a 7 at its worst.

Netflix describes it as a quirky comedy series and honestly, that's what it is! It's a fun ride for everyone who enjoys over the top / cheesy / cliche movies and tv shows like Mean Girls, Scream Queens, Heathers and so on.

You're not supposed to take this show too seriously since it's basically a parody about high school politics.

+ The acting is fantastic. So go and watch it and judge for yourself.

How Come All the High School Students Look 30 Years Old?????

I don't mean that in a good way. The Politician starts out smart, dark and addictive, then rapidly descended into a s**t tornado, minus the gold.

His tendency to rely on histrionics and maudlin song performances and ghostly apparitions in attempts to manipulate his audience into feeling all the feels pushes you past saturation point (he did the same to Pose, which also started out amazing before morphing into Glee) and ironically, it loses all its potency.

There is some lazy writing by way of information dumps and less than subtle exposition (especially in the last episode), but the cast are generally great. And visually it's great. And it really does start out great. Shame about the last half of the season.

If these are the people that assume they will become the next world leaders.. there is no hope for mankind. Not that there is any hope left anyhow.
