Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With a short run with a modest audience and little lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Made for anyone who wants a laugh. If you loved Veep, start here.
The mood: Provocative satire that goes after everyone.
The pace: 3 seasons: a few weeks of evenings, episodes of about 45 minutes, about 38 hours in all.
What might put you off: It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).

After a video of him ranting about government corruption goes viral, Ukrainian teacher Vasyl Petrovych Holoborod'ko becomes a countrywide hero. This new status leads to his being elected President, but that doesn't come without its own hijinks, as he refuses the presidential privileges, determined to lead a simplistic life.
