Keep up the good work, Madam Secretary. You've got my vote.
Finally, these characters have developed the connections that make you wish you were a part of the team.
It was a rather exciting hour and set up a new mystery to be solved this season.
Madam Secretary shines more through its star, Tea Leoni, and its supporting cast, than its stories, which work harder than they probably need to to make the job of secretary of state look interesting.
Audience Reviews for Madam Secretary: Season 2

Oct 11, 2019The series continues strongly. Very entertaining, and intelligently written. Often events are brought up that mirror real-world issues. I love how Mr. McCord is also made to be a strong character that we can respect. Well done!

Dec 21, 2018My wife and I watch this show together on Netflix and we've thoroughly enjoyed it. While many of the plots seem predictable the cliffhangers are well done. Bess's character is believable and mostly realistic. Her husband Henry is the only character in the series that I have a hard time believing could have a real life counterpart, but even then I enjoy his quips and sidequests. Conrad is the president most of us actually want to lead the country, and Russell is who I picture when I think of the White House chief-of-staff (along with Leo McGarry from the West Wing). If you're looking for a semi-serious, enjoyable, and relate-able show to watch in the evenings this is it.

May 25, 2016Season 2 went into more exciting and more conflicting forays while staying true to its warm, wise, family-friendly vibe.

May 09, 2016This show just keeps getting stronger. The first season centered around conspiracies within the US government and the CIA, and while those were satisfactorily resolved, the scenario seemed to me a bit contrived. The second season put all that behind us and focused much more on world politics. While Tea Leoni's performance in the title role continues to carry the show, the supporting cast was given much more to do, and really shone. I very much look forward to Season 3.

Mar 20, 2016The show is so preposterous as to defy description. Leoni is a cardboard character

Jan 10, 2016Brilliant casting, I like the smart writing, with the plus that the stories could actually happen. Somewhat based on real world, stay focused on worldly events and keep the acting at a high lever ... can not go wrong.
