Serviteur du peuple

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).

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.

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.

Whoever ridiculed or doubted comedian Zelensky's ability to properly do the job of a president who's not fictional, might have had changed their mind after the recent events. And yes, it's a pretty accurate description of someone in the midst of a corrupt political system entangled with personal interests. Zelensky is genuinely funny and he's proven himself beyond the tv show too, from music to dancing. I'll never forget the video where he might as well pull off "All the single ladies", in leather and stillettos. Definitely have a look. And with the remarkable qualities he displayed recently, I bet Netflix will be streaming The Servant again. Don't be surprised if you see a film trailer with him either, I just wonder who'll play the leading man.

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.
