Ben Platt in Ryan Murphy's The Politician on Netflix

Another Netflix high school angst show

Ben Platt looks like a 49 year old man, I wonder how he's going to pull this off.

He’s playing a high school student?! Still? Does this bitch think she’s Gabrielle Carteris?

You mean how he's going to pull off walking all the way to the bank cackling yet again R2?

I was referring to Ryan Murphy, of course.

If Platt has been chosen by Murphy, he'll do fine, at this point Ryan can do no wrong.

Is he the Evan Hanson guy?

Evan Hansen

Him I like. Gwynnie not so much. David Corenswet looks lovely, though I'd not seen or heard of him before..

Who is Jessie Lange going to play? A congresswoman? From the south?

I wonder who all these women of a certain age will play in this show about a high school election? Are they all teachers or mothers of students?

I wonder about that too, R2.

Netflix is garbage. Anybody can get a show there. They greenlight everything.

Jessica Lange is playing the part that Barbra Streisand turned down.

Why did he offer it to Barbra in the first place? There's no way she can pull off more than a cameo these days. Those acting muscles of hers are so atrophied by now, she'd just come across as a joke.

R13, yeah, to cater to different tastes and different audiences. What is your point?

Do they really think we will be interested when the lead is fugly?

Ben is not a leading man well at least on tv

School political things always remind me of the brilliant 'Election', and this will have to be amazing to best that

I wonder if any of the young actors sucked Ryan Murphy's cock for a role? He's as bad or worse than Spacey, but much more subtle.

For what it’s worth.
