ok, so maybe it's time for a little distraction?  "the politician" came out on netflix this past friday, and we plowed through it over the weekend.  it's from ryan murphy and a couple of his guys, who were behind glee (i didn't watch), scream queens (i liked a lot), american horror/crime story (liked most of), as well as some other fox fare (pose, 9-1-1, feud, etc).

i said it on the netflix thread, but it's almost like murphy channeled his inner wes anderson on this, with the sets, the cinematography, the coloring, the tone, and the music.  it has a lot of familiar faces, and the actors i didn't know did a great job.  the plot is a little uneven, but it came together and sets up an interesting season 2.

i think people who are as engaged as we are on this board would get a kick out of a lot going on here - which is essentially a high school election that is treated like a local, state, or even national election.  here is the trailer:
