The Politician is genuinely funny in a way that holds up on rewatch. It's currently available in Australia on Netflix and Netflix Standard with Ads, and in the US on Netflix and Netflix Standard with Ads, so there's no reason to keep putting it off. A 7/10 rating means the audience agrees.
Sharp writing and a well-matched ensemble are what separate The Politician from the crowd. Payton has known since childhood that he's going to be president. First he'll have to navigate the most treacherous political landscape: high school. Ben Platt and Lucy Boynton lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. The series ran for 2 seasons (2019–2020), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly.
Ideal for when you want something light without wanting something stupid. The Politician respects its audience — rarer than it should be.
