Catch Two New Series About the 2016 Presidential Election This Month

The 2020 presidential election—which will take place on November 3—is nearing closer and voters are reflecting on the state of the union ahead of casting their ballots. Political podcasts and articles about the candidates's policies are certainly keeping us informed. But as the race builds, we can think of just one thing: This is all playing out like a movie.

In fact, it's already become a movie. The new Showtime miniseries The Comey Rule, out September 27, adapts former FBI Director James Comey's memoir into a star-studded show. Brandon Gleeson plays President Trump in the days leading up to the 2016 election; Jeff Daniels is Comey, and Kingsley Ben-Adir is former President Barack Obama. The two-part HBO documentary Agents of Chaos, out September 23, casts another lens on the 2016 election, specifically looking into potential Russian interference.

We know how the story of the 2016 election ends—but 2020's is still unwritten. Ahead of this important moment in U.S. history, here are our favorite political movies that celebrate (and sometimes criticize) American politics.
