While an Emmy may not be forthcoming, Clinton acquits herself well in this fifth-season launch of a hit that wants -- and occasionally has -- some of that ol' West Wing mojo.
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.
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.
Audience Reviews for Madam Secretary: Season 5

Jul 10, 2019This 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..

Oct 11, 2018HAM HANDED, RIDICULOUS EPISODE. three FORMER sEC sTATES AND ALL THEY CAN SUGGEST IS PLATITUDES. pathetic AND FAR BELOW THEIR STANDARDS.
-
Oct 09, 2018The writing just gets better. Could have done with Clinton taking about uniting, but still impressive.
-
Oct 08, 2018I 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.
