Season 1 Review: [Servant of the People] is pacy, satirical, wry, earthy and honest. Read full review

Season 1 Review: You may not feel much in the mood for comedy but it really is worth watching. Not least because it reminds us, both in fiction and fact, that "non-politicians" can make great leaders, and sometimes "populism" works. Read full review

Season 1 Review: This is a head-spinning meta-watch that simply cannot be missed. That there, playing the president of Ukraine, you remind yourself, is the president of Ukraine. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Servant of the People is a surprisingly fun watch for an American viewer — a political fish-out-of-water comedy in the vein of movies like Dave, Bulworth or Head of State. Read full review

Quite simply an amazing show to watch as this stupud proxy war carries on, and Zelensky asks to help STOP THIS WAR. The show is weird, silly, funny, clever, wise, with a great cast of characters. Stunning that this 'came true' in 2019. Life still stranger than art. Even than comedy.

Wow! Who are the half-dozen некультурный who gave such bad reviews of this excellent comedy? Made long before Putin's злой идиот attack on Ukraine at that! It's fun and funny, and only again serves to highlight that Ukraine is as fortunate in its president as poor Russia is NOT. Watch it forWow!

Hi, I’m a MN lawyer, not a Kremlin bot! And I watched a good part of the first season the first time that Zelenskyy came to prominence, and before the headchoppers were coming for him. And it is an amusing, topical sitcom. You’ll enjoy it; you’ll laugh, it is a little broad but so what; andHi, I’m a MN lawyer, not a Kremlin bot!

You’ll enjoy it; you’ll laugh, it is a little broad but so what; and I can think of a lot worse time wasters. A lot.
