Head of State

CriticsCritics: 37
AudienceAudience: 5.4

After a presidential candidate dies unexpectedly during the campaign, a Washington, D.C. alderman is chosen as his party’s replacement. Thrust into a difficult race, he must navigate political expectations while trying to connect with voters in his own unconventional way.

My take

You may enjoy this if you like broad political comedies with irreverent humor and occasional social commentary; Not for you if you prefer sharper satire, consistent laughs, or a more focused story.
