The article reviews recent TV dramas featuring fictional presidencies and notes a striking disconnect between these portrayals and the current political climate. While shows like 'Zero Day,' 'Paradise,' and 'The Residence' offer dramatic narratives, they seem too normal compared to the unpredictable, often chaotic nature of today's political reality. The author argues that traditional qualities of TV presidents, such as promoting stability and normalcy, are starkly contrasted by real-life behaviors observed in contemporary figures like President Trump, highlighting a fundamental shift in how power is perceived and enacted.
In recent political dramas, the portrayal of presidents seems overly normal and disconnected from the chaotic reality we see daily in the news.
Compared to historical TV presidents who embodied stability, today's fictional leaders reflect a flipped polarity of power and behavior that is increasingly unsettling.
