Oct 11, 2019I'm so glad this is continuing as strongly as the first two seasons. I've watched it all, and highly recommend. As I've said in reviews of the other seasons, events are often brought up that mirror real-world issues. And Mr. McCord isn't just a professor/stay-at-home dad but strong in his own right. The series feels well-rounded. I'm hooked! On the forth season now and will post a review when I finish.

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.

Apr 10, 2017Without a doubt my favorite show on TV right now. I would love for foreign relations and family relations to really work this way! Tea Leoni, Tim Daly & the whole cast are terrific.

Feb 12, 2017Great show, with a great look at american politics with current events being incorporated in the show.

Dec 18, 2016Great acting, great story lines and although they are not at all even handed on the liberal vs. conservative spectrum (total liberal bias) it's still so well done, intelligent and well acted by an amazing cast that it's a must see on Sunday nights! Love it.
