Entertainment giant Netflix is offering Americans the chance to watch the television series that foreshadowed Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s presidency.
Before he was elected president of Ukraine, Zelenskyy appeared on the television series “Servant of the People,” a satire in which a high school teacher becomes president of Ukraine after a speech of his goes viral.
The series debuted in 2015 and ran for four years, ending in 2019 when Zelenskyy began his real campaign for president of Ukraine, CNBC reported.
