It doesn't get much more meta than the premise of Servant of the People – a high school history teacher, Vasyl Goloborodko (Zelenskyy), becomes the President after a recording of him ranting about corruption in Ukraine goes viral.

Landing the top job, the show follows Vasyl's struggles to navigate his newfound responsibilities in office in this brilliant political satire comedy, the first three episodes of which are now available to watch on the All4 streaming service.

Created by Zelenskyy, Servant of the People inspired the creation of the Ukrainian political party of the same name in 2018, with Volodymyr Zelenskyy later elected President of Ukraine in April 2019.

With people now keen to tune in, Channel 4 will be adding the entire first two seasons to All4 in the coming weeks and all three seasons are now on Netflix in the US. Read on below for all the details on how to watch Servant of the People online from anywhere.
