Oct 3, 2018 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review… Verne Gay Newsday Top Critic Cameos from Colin Powell, Madeleine Albright and Hillary Clinton -- and a terrific guest appearance by Linda Lavin...get the fifth season of the political drama off to a strong start. Oct 8, 2018 | Full Review… Matt Roush TV Insider What a way to kick things off. As if having not one, not two, but three former Secretaries of State on Madam Secretary Season 5 Episode 1 wasn't enough, the cast and writers delivered a hell of a story. Oct 8, 2018 | Rating: 4.7/5 | Full Review… Elizabeth Harlow TV Fanatic View All Critic Reviews (3) Audience Reviews for Madam Secretary: Season 5 Jul 10, 2019 This season went full anti-Trump and pro Hillary. It was so pro Hillary that they actually had Hillary on the show. Seasons 1-4 were very entertaining. This season is a political propaganda brainwashing disaster gone awry. The Hollyweird liberals need to get over the fact that Hillary lost and Trump won.. Steve T Apr 01, 2019 Great show. More would watch if it was not on so late. Tara D Jan 21, 2019 5 seasons and still my favorite! Stephanie K Dec 12, 2018 Easy watching. Keeps current with today's issues. Reminds me of West Wing Capi B Oct 11, 2018 HAM HANDED, RIDICULOUS EPISODE. three FORMER sEC sTATES AND ALL THEY CAN SUGGEST IS PLATITUDES. pathetic AND FAR BELOW THEIR STANDARDS. Oct 09, 2018 The writing just gets better. Could have done with Clinton taking about uniting, but still impressive. Super F Oct 08, 2018 I can't believe that the writers would stoop so low to have Hillary on their show. I normally watch you show but I deleted this episode and will cancel the recording if this is the path that you are taking.
