Rick’s Pick – The Politician on Netflix


Check out the trailer for The Politician on Netflix

The Politician stars Ben Platt as Payton Hobart, an ambitious bisexual high student running for class president for his high school with dreams of becoming President of the United States (POTUS). Gwyneth Paltrow plays his nurturing and supportive mother. Zoey Deutch plays Infinity Jackson, girl who believes she has cancer and who is picked as Payton’s running mate to improving his voting ratings. Jessica Lange plays Dusty Jackson, Infinity’s grandmother with ambitions of getting her granddaughter the best life.

The cast includes Skye Leighton played Rahne Jones, a black Lesbian fellow classmate. Alice Charles (Julia Schlaepfer) is Payton’s girlfriend who supports his ambitious career and her eyes on being the First Lady of the United States (FLOTUS). River Barkley (David Corenswet) plays his tutor and male love interest.

The show portrays politics in the modern era with what topics matter to millennial and the new generation of young adults. How we decided to cast our vote, what’s important to us and how the system can manipulate into believing we control who we choose as president are illustrated in this witty dramedy with musical overtures.

The are more heavy actors and actresses guest starring in the series but I don’t want to ruin the surprise. I just implore you to check out the series streaming now on Netflix.
