Anyone watching The Politician on Netflix?

I am totally fascinated.

And once Bette Midler entered the drama, well, I love her. What can I say?

Young and old. Ethics and morality. Terrific dialogue. Unreal, but all the issues in the plot line.

Very well crafted.

are the moms of two main characters. Yes, the plot centers on adolescents early on--and does have too many episodes devoted to establishing the teen characters IMO--but the conflicts are inter generational.

and then the opening montage - I think I misjudged. This does look more interesting than they presented it. Thanks for posting, this is my next binge!
