Does season 2 of ThePolitician live up to the potential of the appealing teaser? Read THR's TV review:
was seven episodes of bland, meandering satire, capped off by a surprisingly engaging finale that set up a second season featuring the always-welcome Judith Light and Bette Midler. That left me in the very peculiar position of really looking forward to the second season of a show after strongly disliking the first.No. It does not.
The season picks up with a month to go in Payton Hobart's run for the New York Senate seat occupied by long-time incumbent Dede Standish . Payton is 10 points down in the polls, but his dogged team — including occasional girlfriend Alice , power trio McAfee , James and Skye , plus the inexplicably present Astrid — believes they can make up the gap if Payton pushes an environmental message he may or may not actually believe in.
For fans of the first season, several familiar faces also have loosely connected roles in the action. Zoey Deutch may have a busy movie career, but she appears in a few episodes as an Infinity Jackson who has no real resemblance to the character we met previously.
