Alpha House: Trailer, certificate and where to watch
Four US senators share a Washington house - with hilarious results
Year: 2014
Certificate: 15
In order to cut costs while living in Washington, a quartet of very different US senators embarks on sharing a house in one of the most enjoyable political comedies of recent years. Real-life world issues are frequently touched on (the group tours Afghanistan at one point), but the two seasons get most of their laughs from the personality clashes between the four housemates as they jostle for attention, renown and political survival, with John Goodman's larger-than-life basketball coach turned senator for North Carolina providing the lion's share of the laughs.
There are guest appearances from assorted big name actors such as Bill Murray, Cynthia Nixon and Haley Joel Osment, but look out too for cameos by real-life political figures such as the late John McCain. (Two series)
