[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.

It's headspinning that this exists at all, but the fact is, it's actually really good - sharp, satirical, funny.
If you've enjoyed it, can I suggest you also write a review to counteract the Russian bots, which you can clearly see in some of the scores? This man is a hero and he deserves our praise!

SEASON 1
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.
Не уровень НВО и Нетфликсов конечно, но ситком так себе очень даже смотрибельный

SEASON 1
An ok comedy that despite being a self fulfilling prophesy conceptually is still an inoffensive watch. Im unfamiliar with eastern Europe television this unaware of the cliches and structures that medium holds but either way this show left me unaffected, without a genuine laugh in sight. This isn't to say it's bad but only that separated from it's lead actor's current disposition not only as the president but also as someone within a war it's a relatively forgettable show that you'd consume once and forget about. The performances are adequate at best ,nothing will floor you but nothing will incite cringe. One great flaw os how rushed the pacing is so much so it makes believing the story that much harder. Nevertheless it's nothing to pan or praise as it's own story . It's only telling that it onky gained acclaim in light of a political crisis being handled well by a charming president.
