20 Netflix Original Series You Must Binge-Watch In 2020
8. The Politician
Ryan Murphy's political drama proved to be something of a comedic gem during its first season. The first of his shows to be produced under his new deal with Netflix, it was - like the majority of his programming - highly exaggerated. But it thrived on its satirical tone, as it documented high school student Payton Hobart's desperate attempts to make his dream of becoming President of the United States a reality.
The best thing about it, however, was undoubtedly the performances as Ben Platt thoroughly earned that Golden Globe nomination through his expert leading of the show while Jessica Lange delivered yet another award-worthy turn herself. And the whole thing ultimately set the stage for an even grittier political race in the second season.
