TELEVISION

BE AN

INFLUENCER

Featuring an all-star cast,

Netflix Original The Politician

is set to be autumn’s biggest hit...

WHO’S BEHIND IT? Ryan Murphy,

creator of Pose and American Horror

Story. His latest show, The Politician

(airing 27 September) is the most

anticipated of the year, after Netflix

won a rumoured $3OOm bidding

war against Amazon and Hulu.

THE LINE-UP? Gwyneth Paltrow,

Bette Midler, Jessica Lange

and Tony Award-winner

Ben Platt, among others.

PLOT NOTES: It follows high-school

student Payton Hobart [Ben Platt]

as he runs for school president

• a crucial first step in his plan
  to become the actual POTUS.
  WHY WE’RE OBSESSED? Set
  in Santa Barbara, it’s full of
  scandalous characters plotting
  each other’s demise while playing
  tennis on perfectly manicured lawns.
  Watching it feels somewhat akin to
  following the 2O16 US elections,
  but with added schoolyard bullying
  and overprivileged teens.
  THE TAKEAWAY? Honesty and
  good policies aren’t enough to
  guarantee success. The path to the
  top can be fraught with plot twists.

before donning another of the brand’s dresses for the
