IT is superb, and a lot of the situations are good, getting into wars and things and politically semi accurate. But rewatching it while a bit older and wiser and more up to date with how politics works, they actually got almost smeg all done in their entire time and were an incredibly bad political team, failing with almost everything they did, with the only wins being against the speaker over the failure to reach a budget.
The drama was good, the inter character stuff often good, they added comedy often enough and in a witty way that it was a great show.
Amy was almost always brilliant in it, Stockard Channing, with one of the most ridiculous names ever, had some brilliant series and some awful ones where they kept her out of it a lot, not sure what is going on with her.
Immensely watchable series, not sure Two Cathedrals is the best, the Josh/Sheen getting shot episodes, the multipart Zoe kidnapped eps are probably the best. THe putting the team together ones were pretty decent aswell. I also agree on the Alison Janney ones, not very good at all.
THe last series, as much as I like Jimmy Smitts in other things, was pretty poor, most of the campaign stuff on the road was pretty dire, though a lot of stuff with Will/people back in the whitehouse was good.
EDIT:- The episode with Glenn Close and the "evil republican" and getting them on the Supreme court was also very very good, the writing and the characters were writen superbly.
