Shows about politics, whether serious or humorous.
Keep in mind that most serious political commentary shows do not (and should not) have pages on this site. This is because most of them do not have tropable content, or at least not without dangerously skirting the line of tropes that ban real-life examples. Shows that convey their political commentary through comedy, however, do use tropes to tell their jokes, so that's the distinction and why comedic political shows have pages.
For shows about fictional governments, see Government Procedural.
