The most negative review

Boring watch, won't watch again, and do not recommend.
After watching "Irrestitable", I should have known better than to give this a try, but I was hoping the stars being the actual candidates would make it better, but it's still about nonsense politics and social manipulation.
If you like the actors, then you might get a bit out of it, but you could also just watch other good things they're in.
Politics isn't fun for me, and there are a few absurd jokes that land, but for the most part it is a lot of work to setup jokes that just do not land.
