Plus working with co-star Ben Platt for a second time.

, the larger-than-life new Netflix dramedy created by Ryan Murphy

. The first season follows Ben Platt’s aggressively ambitious high schooler Payton Hobart as he runs for student body president, which he sees as the first step in a long political career that will inevitably culminate with him in the Oval Office. As the cliché goes, behind every great man is a great woman and that’s exceedingly true in Payton’s case. Laural Dreyfuss’s McAfee is a core member of Payton’s small but fiercely dedicated campaign staff, and she’s so thoroughly competent and savvy that you may find yourself wondering why she’s not the candidate.

MC: I also love that McAfee’s wardrobe is so specific, and then she just has this messy-chic, totally unstyled long hair.Yeah, I always envisioned her having just rows and rows of power suits, but then I think she doesn't have time to do her hair, because she's so busy! I loved the idea that she just has professional bed head, and kind of rocks it.I would say my favorite scene was watching Ben sing"River'.

MC: Even though season one centers on a high school election, it’s satirizing politics in general. Did the show change the way you think about politics?Yeah, it did make me examine politics in a different way, and the biggest thing was examining what makes us drawn to certain leaders.

OF COURSE the church still practices this crap (I lived in Utah for a couple of years: loved the kind people, but the church is a goliath and totally in the dark ages) Was this written by the Duggar family?
