What I liked

The scenarios were all ridiculous, but—given our current state of affairs—seemed wryly possible. I especially loved the Gen Z influencer social media strategist and the Republican nominee, whose undeniability was equal only to his incompetency. Just so well executed and fun.

What I didn't like

The vfx graphics that introduced the press sequences were gorgeous and punchy, but when used every time they made the transitions drag.

My overall impression

So funny! The actors had a blast with Holiday Kinard’s whip-smart script. A great show that sent up all the absurdity of the current political situation, without getting bogged down by the despair.
