The West Wing

`The West Wing: Season Four, despite the exceptional end of series cliff hanger, is where things started to go off the boil for this long running series. But, because the previous standard was so high, even when things go off the boil this still makes for compelling viewing. This series follows the latter stages of the Presidential campaign and inauguration, Sam Seaborn leaves to run for office in California, troops are sent in to quell a Kundunese (an African nation) genocide, some marines are captured and need to be rescued, there is industrial whistle-blowing, a friendly fire incident, another administration scandal and the aforementioned end of series cliff hanger. This series focuses more on long running storylines, rather than the individual stories for each episode and it loses some of its spark as a result. The snappy, intelligent language is still there and the political manoeuvrings are just as impressive, but because the series focuses on long running themes it seems to have lost some of its fire and immediacy. Everyone acts to the high standards this series became known for, the writing is still top class and there are real episode highlights throughout the series and if you enjoy the previous series then this will interest you and keep you engaged. Despite my earlier reservations this still manages to be very impressive TV!

Love, love, LOVE this show! Learn something new every time I watch it. I highly recommend it to everyone. A must watch.

I never watched it when it was on TV and Ive thoroughly enjoyed being able to watch it on Amazon. Its really great that you can watch it from beginning to end with no Summer waiting for the new season to begin!!

Superb writer(s), excellent cast, marvelous production; informative, amusing, entertaining, witty and intelligent. I envy those who have yet to discover this series.

As a longstanding member of the Cynic Party, I have been cynical of politics and politicians from ALL parties for many years. Thus, the WEST WING did not grab me on subject matter alone. From the very first episode, though, I was hooked -- not by the wheeling and dealing and politics, but by the heart of the matter. This show became my weekly habit from the first episode to the last. For some reason, it encouraged me and gave me hope that someday perhaps the Right and the Left will perhaps work together once more, for the good of the country. Oh sure, the WEST WING had plenty of ego and concern over career and legacy, but that was not the driving force -- if anything, it was a force that surfaced and was overcome whenever it got in the way. It is no coincidence that I have been on a WEST WING binge as we endure yet another season of the Three Ring Circus we call the Primaries -- this one, indeed, a colossal spectacle! I started my way through the WEST WING because it gives me hope, and in this election year, I sure need it.

Incredible writing and casting, to say nothing of what politicians should Study!
