The 25 Best New TV Shows of 2019 — and Where to Watch Them in 2020

TV super producer Ryan Murphy's Netflix debut was a smashing success thanks in no small part to a pitch perfect performance from Ben Platt. Set against the backdrop of a wealthy prep school, The Politician is a polished satire about two high school students with cutthroat political ambitions that push them to the edge. By channeling the excellent 1999 film Election and the all too real sideshow that is the current political landscape, Murphy created a satire with real bite.
