Abnet, Zekarias (TTh) The Politician 100
The Politician is a Netflix original serious about a high school student in upper-class Santa Barbra, California who's running for school body president with a life long goal of actually one day becoming POTUS. Funny enough the show is little about pure politicians and more about the absurdly serious way our main character Payton and his group of friends take this insignificant race for student body president. The show has healthy number of stars, featuring Gwyneth Paltrow as Payton's mother and Jane Fonda making an appearance towards the end of the season, though she will be much more prominent in the second season to come. Outside of the hilarity of the storyline and its main characters, the Politician shines in beauty. The show has great writing that's crisply delivered by diverse and colorful cast of characters. The Netflix original is executively produced by Ryan Murphy.
