Servant of the People

Screenshot from Servant of the People

Where: Netflix
What: Series, 3 seasons, 51 episodes, 25 mins.
When: Now, originally 2015
Genre: Sitcom
Why you should watch: Maybe we shouldn’t be surprised that Volodymyr Zelensky is so good at playing president of Ukraine on this sitcom, he’s proven pretty amazing at it in real life. Zelensky brings an affable and slightly inept Mr. Beanlike quality to his “accidental” servant of the people that’s adorable — and funny. It’s a slickly produced show that delivers laughs and a few, now historically, loaded moments, including Putin jokes.
