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!"
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 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.

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.
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!
