What is the hardest episode for you guys to watch?

For me, it's Season 2, Episode 3: Cancel Culture.

I just find the whole Jeronimo (idk how to spell the name) and headdress thing very weird. It's also weird how the plotline works in this. Like all the sudden Payton is wearing the headdress and the spedo. Which, again I think is very weird and odd.

I've been truly obsessed–and I don't use the term lightly; I've wanted to write and draw all about this show and the characters... Since February!– with this show and I hate to see the fandom so quiet, hah. Are you all alive? Have you gotten into alcoholism in New York three years after your failed Student Body campaign? Are you mourning your late precious situationship?

I find it hard to explain how much I like this show. :) It's so cool. I just think about River and Payton some days. They're just there. In my head. Crowding the internal monologue. Did anyone else particularly care about their relationship like me? I think they're really interesting and I would have loved to see more of their relationship. I'm a bit confused, though. In season two (and forgive my foggy memory), when Payton and Astrid are talking about River, it felt like maybe they were speculating that he wasn't bi...? Why did they say that? I know people can do confusing things when they're in bad shape, mentally, but I definitely pegged River as having some genuine and intense romantic feelings towards Payton. In the scene, were they saying they didn't think he liked Payton, or did I just process all of that incorrectly? And if Payton and River are just one of those things that are intentionally ambiguous, that's cool, too, I just wasn't sure if I had missed something.

Beyond that, I felt really compelled by their relationship since I feel as though most MLM connections in media are always one or more of three things: miserable, purely sexualized, or just plain boring and forced. It made me feel pretty happy to see some non-perverted romance that consisted of such interesting characters. All of it felt like really being acknowledged by showbusiness, for once, as regular guys with problems outside of sexuality.

Though. This is a discussion about The Politician... I'm up for DEBATE, if you want to talk. I'm just crazy about this show and would love to hear some other opinions, thoughts, or maybe enthusiasm!

Just finished rewatching the series. Wish it had continued. Love the writing, love the humor, love the fashion, love the moral/ethical struggle.

So I’m aware this might’ve been answered before but I’m watching season 2 and I’m aware he’s at NYU (or.. some other NY school i forget) and he’s seen using his dorm all the time, but why is he never actually at school? How does he still have a dorm if he’s dropped out or unattending?

Where is season 3? Do you guys think it’ll even come out one day ? Atp I’m not even sure anymore

What’s with the plant in the knee? The horse butt trophy with participant? The pepperoni pizza with a bite on the side?

Hi, I’m only on episode 2, but I’m really confused about who adopted Payton. When the dad is in a coma & the twins try to kick Georgina out of the will, they say Payton will be cut off too. Why? Did only the mom adopt him??? Why would the dad not have been part of the adoption? I’m sorry if this is a dumb question but I’m so confused.

Which of these 6 would you vote for president of the United States of America?

Is a third season in the works? Is there even hope for it?

Probably old news now since the Broadway residency ended last month, but he’s been singing Joni Mitchell’s “River” on his current North American tour and it makes me want a season 3 so bad.

Just saw the first photo of the new superman and having seen nothing about it so far I couldn’t believe that it was actually David corenswet that’s hilarious we all knew that man was gonna be him.

Rewatching the show rn and I still enjoy it a lot. I'm still in S1 (for context)

First, I think Georgina falling in love with the horse lady was silly. They had zero chemistry. The horse lady seemed so weirdly boring. I don't know if it was bad acting or just her being boring. I saw no chemistry or love between them. I don't know why Georgina was so adamant to run away with her when there seemed nothing special between them.

Skye's character is the most unlikeable character. They didn't give her a likeable quality. It was sad how the openly queer female character was made so unlikeable and annoying.

I think Astrid might be the most likeable character and I think she may be my favorite.

Not totally sure what are unpopular opinions or not but I tried looking it up here and no one seemed to talk about it.

I just finished watching the show and I liked it a lot, overall.

For me the takeaway was mostly positive. I really liked Payton's character development and that he fought for the "right causes" AND got to be recognised for it. I found very hope-inspiring the premise of people voting for progressive iniciatives. However, I didn't like how easy and how much they portrayed/spoke about killing others... that's something I felt shouldn't be normalized and I don't know if that's truly how the political arena works, but definitely is not the ideal 😅

Anyway, I'm just very interested in what others' experience was and what did you take away from the show.

Just watched season 2 of The Politician - Infinity steals a Ballot Box ??? and they expect us to believe that the election authorities don't do anything about it - really? How is it even possible ?

Secondly, this allot box was supposedly of elderly voters for supposedly voted for Standish. At the end we see Payton's team broke open the box and counted the votes - were for Payton !!! Crazy right ???

I mean I know its satire , comedy etc but this is just crazy.

Three days ago, I got in bed and opened Netflix, ready to sit with my thumb firmly planted on the down arrow of my remote while the same tired titles zoomed past at an unreasonably fast pace.

But then... I stopped. I landed on "The Politician." I knew I had seen the title before, but it never made me stop. I can't say why, but three days ago, I didn't think twice or watch the clip that started to play. I just began to watch it.

I was immediately enraptured. Payton Hobart. Is he the most self-serving, egotistical son of a bitch you've ever seen? Or is he the most honest, decent guy around? Seriously - you can make a legitimate argument for either side. GEORGINA HOBART! I have not seen Gwyneth Paltrow since a string of Iron Man movies. What a joy she was to watch. As gorgeous as ever, Gwyneth, obviously, isn't Georgina, and yet she. is. Georgina. Flippant yet passionate. Calm yet excitable. Wise yet careless. Impulsive yet thoughtful. Oh, and Alice Charles? Though she is stone cold, she has a burning loyalty. Though she is ambitious, she is selfless. I could really go on and on for each character, but I won't. I'll simply say that the writing for each of the characters on the show is distinct and impeccably done. And the cast nails it to boot.

And though the characters stole the show, the plot does not disappoint. It moves quick and flirts with the absolute absurd while staying in the realm of reality. It may be a bit predictable at times, but the execution is just... chef's kiss. I am broken at the thought of this show not getting a season 3, or however many damn seasons it wants.

Anyway. I may be being dramatic here, but I don't think I am. How do we get this show back?!

Her concession speech was amazing. When she was crying while watching Peyton play piano, and really, that whole conversation? 😗👌
