The Politician is a Much Watch Show on Netflix

Dear Friends,

I hope you all had a great weekend! Fall is finally upon us, and the warm weather is slowly drifting away. Thank goodness, right? I mean it's already October and it is just now okay to wear a sweatshirt without sweating my butt off on the way to classes. It is ridiculous. Mother Nature is crazy.

Anyways, I am not here to talk about the weather. I am here to talk to you all about the new Netflix original series: The Politician. I have not finished it yet, but as of right now I am loving every second of it. Ben Platt is an AMAZING actor in this show, along with other famous actors such as Gwyneth Paltrow and Laura Dreyfuss. It is supposed to be a Comedy with a lot of political material and serious issues revolving around mental health, human rights, and much more.

I am not a politically educated guy. When people talk/argue about politics, I usually stay out of it just because I am not knowledgeable about most political topics. Now, politics is a VERY rough topic for anyone to talk about. There is always different views, opinions, topics, and so on. I love this show because it is based on a high school setting.

The overall plot of the show is that Ben Platt's character knows he is going to be president of the United States when he grows up, but he is currently dealing with becoming student body president at his high school. It is a super high paced show. So many things happen in every scene and it is incredible. Characters are double-crossing each other and fighting, and ah it is just amazing.

If you are not into politics like me, I highly suggest watching this show. It is 8 episodes long, and each episode is about 45 minutes to an hour-long. The only reason I am currently not finished with the show is that I want it to last as long as it can. I don't enjoy binge-watching a new show right when it comes out because before you know it, you have no show to watch and it's over.

If you enjoy Ben Platt or any other iconic actors in the tv industry, you should definitely add this show to your list. It's funny, endearing, and deep. What's better than that? Though it is described as a comedy, I wouldn't say the whole thing is a comedy. There are more small funny one-liners or scenes than anything. I wouldn't describe the whole base of the show as funny. It has those small one-liners to keep the show going and light-hearted in my opinion. I guess you will just have to watch it to see what you think.

Thank you for reading this article. I hope you all have an amazing week, and I will see you all next time with a new topic. Peace.

Your Friend,

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
