Just a quick note to share what I'm binging on these days. LOVE this show. It's a cross between the West Wing and The Americans. It's got sincere civil servants trying to do good in the world, and also trying to get into each other's pants. Like the West Wing, but with more strong women. It's got spies, conspiracies, and arguments between parents and adolescents, like The Americans. Good character development. Since it's a mainstream network show, it has 5 seasons with 20+ episodes! And it ends this year (still showing new shows right now) with a 10 episode final season. Something to keep me going for a while!
I can't believe TLo never commented on Tia Leoni's style of power suiting for her role as Secretary of State. In the first season, I was struck how she was always in trouser suits, with so much more style than Hilary ever had. Now, in season 2, skirts are making an appearance. The chemistry between the Secretary and her spouse reflects the real life relationship between Leoni and Tim Daly.
It is necessarily very concerned with foreign relations, which have changed enormously since 2014. But like the West Wing, it was a simpler time. Sigh.

ooh...will keep in mind for long winter ahead!
Sadly one of the ones that Peter, who watches a lot more tv than me, has seen, so unlikely I will catch it. But I never finished West Wing, and still have Americans to go. Please do continue to post what you enjoy!
