Servo do Povo

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.

I don't usually watch Eastern European production, as it's usually bad. But recent events got me curious. And I quite liked it! Good dialogues, the charm of local "culture", funny characters and almost fairytale hero, who tries to fight bad guys. It was cute. I even forgave all that hysterical screaming, which is common in Eastern European comedies. Western world may find lots of stereotypes, sexism and such, but please understand that everything takes time in different cultures.

Such a light-hearted comedy. I am a big fan of Parks and Rec (another top-rated political comedy) but Servant of the People has replaced it as my favorite in the genre. The show must have been pivotal in getting the main actor elected as president of Ukraine IRL in 2019.

The show gives great insight into Ukraine's pains and worries about the rampant corruption. I was born and raised in Ukraine and watching the show from the U.S. brings nostalgia and inspires hope that one day I can return into a truly free country.

I was impressed after binge-watching Season 1. It paints a picture of Ukraine, so I can now relate to a culture I knew nothing about. Furthermore, given Zelensky's rise to the Presidency and the current events on top, it is worth watching just for that.

The series is well made with very modest resorces and it is fresh. The actors, for example, who are not well known and look pretty common, do a good job. The plot line is consistent and sometimes very original. The jokes are funny. So go ahead, get entertained and informed at the same time.

This actor is genius, he made us to think a movie is the reality and the reality is just a movie. Moreover, he made us believe in heroes, more than The Avengers, and in sacrifice, more than 300. You should see it because, sometimes, a great leader can be dressed as a clown and a clown can be dressed as a leader. Stop Putin today!
