Netflix Review – The Politician Season 2

June 19, 2020 by EJ Moreno

EJ Moreno reviews the second season of Netflix’s The Politician…

Ryan Murphy is back with another season of his hit Netflix original series. The Politician Season 2 is bold, campier, and somehow wilder than before. Ben Platt and Judith Light lead the second season of the political satire into directions than you’d never expect, so join our host EJ Moreno as he dives into everything you need to know. From trouples to cancel culture, there’s nothing this series won’t tackle.

Watch the review below, and be sure to head on over to our YouTube channel for more videos and exclusive content…

Payton Hobart (Ben Platt) fights to unseat Dede Standish (Judith Light) in the New York State Senate race. As a long-time incumbent and greatly admired Senate Majority Leader with no-nonsense Chief of Staff, Hadassah Gold (Bette Midler) at her side, Dede’s re-election was supposed to be easy, but Payton – who sees this as the next step on his path to the Presidency – must decide what kind of politician he ultimately wants to be in order to succeed, even if that means exposing secrets, lies, and a throuple. Meanwhile, his mother, Georgina Hobart (Gwyneth Paltrow), makes a momentous decision that threatens to upstage him and everything he’s hoping to accomplish. But if Payton wants to rise above petty politics and succeed without compromising his character, he must find his voice and strengthen his political message to inspire and excite the voters. Created by Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk, and Ian Brennan, The Politician offers a comedic and satirical glimpse into just what it takes to be a politician.

 

The Politician Season 2 is now available on Netflix.
