Return to “The West Wing” (2)
At the beginning of the month, I did posting about how Vee and I had received DVD sets of series six and seven of “The West Wing” for Christmas.
We watched the 22 episodes of series six in just 12 days, concluding with the Latino Matt Santos winning the Democratic candidacy after a contested convention. We then decided to take a break from American politics in television while the real thing – the inauguration of Barack Obama – engaged our attention.
This evening, we returned to “The West Wing” and watched the first four episodes of series seven. This is television that is both brilliantly entertaining and highly informative. No British television series has ever treated politics so intelligently.
