DVD Reviews
This series is still going strong, so it's a
shame that it was canceled and only given 10 episodes to
wrap it up. Still, viewers should enjoy the ending with its
continued wit and intelligence.
I can't say too much more without giving
away spoilers. Téa Leoni's Elizabeth McCord becomes
President this season, so the show has become a sort of
alternate history of what might have been, had Hillary
Clinton won. I believe she also has a cameo this season.
The show that neatly balances politics and
family drama finishes on this last DVD set. You should buy
it if you're bought the other 5 seasons. MORE INFORMATION:

Description:
Stars Téa Leoni as Elizabeth McCord, the
shrewd, determined
secretary
of state who drives international diplomacy and circumvents
protocol as she negotiates global and domestic issues, both
at the White House and at home. A
college professor and a brilliant former CIA analyst who
left for ethical reasons, Elizabeth returned to public life
at the request of President Conrad
Dalton, who values McCord’s political leanings, deep
knowledge of the Middle East, flair
for languages and ability to not just think outside
the box, but not even acknowledge
there is a box. McCord’s team includes her chief of staff,
Jay Whitman; policy advisor, Kat Sandoval; speechwriter,
Matt Mahoney; press coordinator, Daisy Grant; and charming
assistant, Blake Moran. As McCord debates third-world
problems, confronts issues related to her decision to run
for president, finesses foreign dignitaries at work and does
battle with the president’s
combative chief of staff, Russell Jackson, that’s just a
warm-up for when she goes home to her supportive husband,
theology-professor-turned-intelligence-operative Henry,
and their three children, where “politics” and “compromise”
take on new meaning.
