DVD Reviews
This is an excellent political drama that
also has a lot of action and family drama. If you loved West
Wing, you might like this as well. Téa Leoni stars as the
Secretary of State who then becomes President.
Unfortunately, life didn't imitate art since we still don't
have a female president in real life.
The show has
some great actors in its huge cast, including Tim Daly, Bebe
Neuwirth, Željko Ivanek, and Keith Carradine. They real a
really amazing ensemble.
Conservative viewers may not
like it because it does address many issues that they may
consider to be "too liberal." I've never found it to be so.
I think it sets a good balance of showing all views as much
as possible. It's not really the liberal fantasy of "The
West Wing."
The DVD set has many wonderful extras. If
you missed the show on air, here is your opportunity to
rediscover this excellent series with its many fine actors
and stories.

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.
