[Servant of the People] is pacy, satirical, wry, earthy and honest.
This is a head-spinning meta-watch that simply cannot be missed. That there, playing the president of Ukraine, you remind yourself, is the president of Ukraine.

You may not feel much in the mood for comedy but it really is worth watching. Not least because it reminds us, both in fiction and fact, that "non-politicians" can make great leaders, and sometimes "populism" works.
Servant of the People is a surprisingly fun watch for an American viewer — a political fish-out-of-water comedy in the vein of movies like Dave, Bulworth or Head of State.
