The Politician is a Much Watch Show on Netflix

Dear Friends,

I hope you all had a great weekend! Fall is finally upon us, and the warm weather is slowly drifting away. Thank goodness, right? I mean it's already October and it is just now okay to wear a sweatshirt without sweating my butt off on the way to classes. It is ridiculous. Mother Nature is crazy.

Anyways, I am not here to talk about the weather. I am here to talk to you all about the new Netflix original series: The Politician. I have not finished it yet, but as of right now I am loving every second of it. Ben Platt is an AMAZING actor in this show, along with other famous actors such as Gwyneth Paltrow and Laura Dreyfuss. It is supposed to be a Comedy with a lot of political material and serious issues revolving around mental health, human rights, and much more.

I am not a politically educated guy. When people talk/argue about politics, I usually stay out of it just because I am not knowledgeable about most political topics. Now, politics is a VERY rough topic for anyone to talk about. There is always different views, opinions, topics, and so on. I love this show because it is based on a high school setting.

The overall plot of the show is that Ben Platt's character knows he is going to be president of the United States when he grows up, but he is currently dealing with becoming student body president at his high school. It is a super high paced show. So many things happen in every scene and it is incredible. Characters are double-crossing each other and fighting, and ah it is just amazing.

If you are not into politics like me, I highly suggest watching this show. It is 8 episodes long, and each episode is about 45 minutes to an hour-long. The only reason I am currently not finished with the show is that I want it to last as long as it can. I don't enjoy binge-watching a new show right when it comes out because before you know it, you have no show to watch and it's over.

If you enjoy Ben Platt or any other iconic actors in the tv industry, you should definitely add this show to your list. It's funny, endearing, and deep. What's better than that? Though it is described as a comedy, I wouldn't say the whole thing is a comedy. There are more small funny one-liners or scenes than anything. I wouldn't describe the whole base of the show as funny. It has those small one-liners to keep the show going and light-hearted in my opinion. I guess you will just have to watch it to see what you think.

Thank you for reading this article. I hope you all have an amazing week, and I will see you all next time with a new topic. Peace.

Your Friend,

Al

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.
