Barack Mirror? Ideas for Obamas' new Netflix show

A buddy cop show with Joe Biden, an "elaborate recasting" for House of Cards, and a "shot-for-shot remake" of the Apprentice.

These are just some of the ideas suggested for former US President Barack Obama after it was reported he and his wife Michelle are in talks to produce content for Netflix.

The New York Times said one possible approach was for Mr Obama to moderate debates on issues such as healthcare, climate change and immigration.

But if he decides to go in a different direction, there is no shortage of ideas for his potential career on the digital streaming service, which is already gaining traction after the positive reception for his interview with David Letterman in January.

The news was well received on Reddit's subsection dedicated to television programmes, with one user joking he now expected to see Mr Obama in the third season of Netflix's horror-fantasy series Stranger Things.

Some people imagined him appearing as the Demobama - or the Dem, Obama - a play on the show's Demogorgon creature, although one person suggested he might be better suited to the role of monster-slayer in a different Netflix show.
