It's a waste of talents like Bette Midler and Judith Light as Platt's seasoned political adversaries.

It still has a spark and some episodes are entertaining, but it leaves us with the feeling that it could have been so much better. [Full Review in Spanish]

I didn't love the first season, but that kind of emptiness was easier to stomach when it was about a high-school election. Translated into the real world, that kind of farce does not feel fun.

It's the seediness, the kink, that Murphy fixates on more than an actual message, which sends a message unto itself: He doesn't care, and neither should the rest of us.

Broadway darling Platt is still a worthy lead in his second term, one whom you can always depend on for a voracious performance.

The gloss of The Politician may not compensate for its overall shallowness or the messy pointlessness of its plot, but it does remind us of celebrity's power to persuade us to make foolish decisions, including with our time.

I didn't hate it, but I didn't like it, either. It's like most of Ryan Murphy's projects: A lot of insanely fun ingredients (Judith Light! Bette Middler! Zoey Deutch!), but there's always too much sugar and never enough flour and eggs.

It's good to see Ryan Murphy back at what he does best, garish colours, obnoxious characters, power suits and all.
June 23, 2020
The performances, writing, direction, and overall energy remain superb, further showing a series that is as confident as it is bold.

Make it to the end of this season, and you will learn more about the psychology and science behind rock-paper-scissors than you ever even knew existed, but then... it will ultimately mean nothing.

The speed at which these seven episodes fly by isn't a credit to efficiency; it's a signal that even those making the show have stopped caring about it.

It never becomes cutthroat enough to tango with its own characters, but nonetheless you can never label it a bore.
