There is so much story to tell, that [the show] doesn't delve deeply into any of them. [Full review in Spanish]

It's a daring show that reveals right from the start how wooden and obviously constructed its central character is.

The show certainly stumbles its way through to the finale, but with a second season already in the offing and a fantastic set-up for the next run, we think The Politician could eventually win the race.

Highly watchable, as Payton's campaign repeatedly surmounts seemingly insurmountable problems, and, when bits of real feeling make it through all the acid humor, even touching.

Tonally, it's scattered (dark comedy, musical, drama), but all in all, it's totally watchable.

Showrunner Ryan Murphy (Glee, Feud) has pulled off the neat trick of remorselessly bashing achingly PC millennial sensibilities while celebrating the warmth of the individuals involved.

This isn't a particularly great set of episodes, but it shows a lot of flair, and it may make you eager to see the next season, which seems almost guaranteed, given Netflix's huge deal with Murphy.

The Murphy playbook here feels exhausting, counterproductively unrealistic, and even downright fearful.

A grab bag of genres and tone, but Platt, as billed, is special indeed.

Ben Platt's dazzlingly faceted Payton is a person we can root for, however unwillingly.
