Lucy Boynton stars as Astrid in 'The Politician.'
The Big Picture Emma Roberts is one of television's reigning mean girls. After showing off her claws in shows like Scream Queens and American Horror Story, Roberts has been one of Ryan Murphy's most famous leading ladies with an ever-so-sharp tongue. But she's not the only one who has earned fans based on her ability to cut down her foes with a few choice words and a death stare.
The Politician TV-14 A high school in affluent Southern California becomes the battleground for a fiercely competitive student body president election. The central figure, a young man with outsized ambitions, navigates the cutthroat politics of school and home life. His relentless drive not only tests his own morals but also affects the lives of everyone around him, as each decision brings him closer to realizing his ultimate political aspirations.
The Politician put a satirical spin on getting ahead in high school largely due to its impressive cast, which boasted legendary actors such as Gwyneth Paltrow, Jessica Lange, Bette Midler, and Judith Light. The series also benefited from not staying with one plot line for too long. It progressed from Payton's high school years in Season 1 to him attending New York University and trying to secure a New York State Senate position in Season 2. This evolution allowed the characters to grow .
But there was more to Astrid than just that power-hungry drive and persistence. By the beginning of Season 2, she has run away to New York to start a new life as a carefree waitress. Her character arc only deepened in complexity when she became pregnant with Payton's baby in Season 2, offering one of the series' more heartbreaking storylines.
