A pure definition of must-see TV!
<br />
Based on the reviews I've seen here, not too many Republicans out there
watching this show. The series has a definite left wing leaning, which
is fine and a refreshing change from so many hate mongers out there. A
little unity, hope, doing what's right (and therefore, unpopular) -
it's fiction we know, but oh to dream that we had an administration
that could and would do all of those things.<br><br>One reason I like the show - they hired one of Clinton's staffer's Dee
Dee Myers as a consultant - to give it added realism. Does this show
sometimes preach? Yup. Is it lofty? Is the President....Presidential?
Yes! I did not start watching the series until 2008. I found it to be
such a breath of fresh air from all of the fear mongers, haters and
divisive people out there, I was ready for a little Hollywood. So enjoy
a well written, funny, moving TV show and escape for a while to a place
where smart people make tough choices and sacrifice themselves for the
greater good. It does happen sometimes, just not often enough.

To get across the point just how much I enjoyed this show, saying
something about myself will help. Reading a review like this would have
helped me. I'm 20 years old, live in Scotland and I have no clue about
politics. Seriously, I had no idea what a Republican or a Democrat was
when I started watching this show.<br><br>I can barely put into words how good this show is. The cast is
exceptional, the characters funnier than any other show I can name and
the chemistry between them is incredible.<br><br>The politics isn't the most important part of the show, despite it
being in the White House, so if politics doesn't interest you or you
don't really understand the dynamics, still watch this show, you won't
regret it.
