Have you seen The West Wing? :eh:


By political, I mean it wears its politics on its sleeve. West Wing was quite a lot more subtle most of the time.

How good is the West Wing? I'm not that familiar with Sorkin's stuff besides Social Network. Really enjoyed the first episode of this too

Finally got a chance to see the pilot, and it was soooo good. It really intrigues me because I was at one stage on the path to being a journalist, so yeah I'm excited for this. Jeff Daniels for all the awards I tell ya.

IMHO, The West Wing is his best show ever. And Martin Sheen was an amazing POTUS. :clap:
