Zelenski: Servidor del pueblo

Having seen just the first episode, this is endearing and very funny. Zelensky is an engaging, human and funny man. A schoolteacher becomes president. And now, in turn the comedian becomes president, for real... and one of the bravest leaders in modern times. The strangeness of seeing him on screen in this role and comparing that to the heart wrenching statements shown on every newschannel in the free world is unimaginable but for the fact that it is horribly real. The world is facing such peril, the like of which has not been seen since 1945, yet this TV comedy, in a language unfathomable to most western ears brings humanity and hope, through a man destined to go down in history as both comedian and hero.

Watching it in 2022, I cannot sit back, relax and enjoy this surprisingly witty and funny series. It is like one of those movies that you have watched a 100 times and yet when you watch them for the 101th time, you hope and pray that the hero survives. Well, Zelensky became president and made his life hell. Nothing to do about that now. Let's hope and pray that he and his country survive.

I expected a shallow comedy, but it was more than that. Storyline, humor, even characteristics, perfect. Also, the great acting of the cast should not be forgotten. I laughed, I sympathized, I even got angry for the protagonist. It is amazing every characters had their back grounds, and even the antagonist and the villain were awesome. The series never failed at surprising me, the plot twists were always great. It has such a well-written script. Also, it makes good point about political corruptions.

My favorite characters were Iouri Ivanovitch Tchuiko (Vasily's friend-enemy) and Mikhail Ashotovich Tasunyan (Vasily's friend).

Pres. Zelenskyy's series (back on Netflix) is wonderful, and his history teacher who becomes President steps off the screen and into our hearts believably. He is just as charming with that beautiful voice and just as clearly the man his people elected and the heroic leader most of us have come to love. Strongly recommended: these are roughly half-hour episodes linked by bits and codas moving smoothly into the President becoming what he was born to be: And in real life, the time he was born for and the man we needed so much. Truly historical and also heartbreaking. Because now he must put his life on the line and save his country. The images of beautiful Ukraine now being destroyed are beyond painful, and valiant people we see everywhere in the film are now resistance fighters for democracy. Yes it has flaws in timing and predictability here and there, but I gave it the 10 not only because it is a fine series, but also because life imitated art and gave us this hero. This is an extraordinary accomplishment and moment in history. "Slava Ukraini!"

What a charming, witty series!

It's heartbreaking that this beautiful place and these lovely people are currently facing destruction by fascist-imperialist Putin and his brainwashed horde.
