Well, they did it again. Great season IMHO and a spectacular cliff-hanger of a finale.

Doesn't hurt having Keri Russell as the star. Loved her in The Americans.

4 episodes in so far,

liking it like the rest, so far

Wife and I binge watched it. Fantastic series.

My wife and I really like this show. I felt Season 4 was better than 3. Superbly acted and produced.

My wife and I like the show as well, but the “girl bossing” in this latest season grates on my nerves.


Allow me to rant on the woke writing in this show.

The women in powerful positions are effortlessly on top of things. They think strategically, have command of minute details, anticipate every move and Mary Sue the crap out of everything that all the men around them are screwing up.

The female Vice President was on the verge of being ousted when the male President, who couldn’t be trusted NOT to kill himself with a cup of coffee, dies… and from that moment the newly installed female President becomes a supremely gifted manager, decisive to the extreme who solves conflicts with incisive flair, effortlessly wielding supreme power as if genetically engineered to lead the world to justice and peace.

Do not trifle the new female President with the details of any issue, she KNOWS the details better than her subordinates and she knows the details BEFORE her subordinates do. Behold the unfettered female, born to lead… if only Kamala Harris wasn’t being held back by that old, doddering male, Joseph Robinette Biden… what could have been!

The female Chief of Staff is so capable that she can solve any world crisis whilst simultaneously texting someone important and taking phone calls from other important world persons. Females are born to juggle chainsaws while beating you at chess.

The newly installed President’s husband, the First Gentleman, is a mopey, helpless third wheel who becomes an albatross around his wife’s neck… and the female President cunningly plants a seed with his protective detail to shuffle him off to a foreign country… he never realized he was being manipulated like an errant toddler. Ohh, men, so easily duped by women… who are SOOO much more clever than the male of the species.

The male Prime Minister is a venal, reckless warmonger who can’t control his emotions. That PM picks a back bencher woman as a new cabinet member… until the male PM resigns and that female back bencher allies with the new FEMALE prime minister who not only outmaneuvers the United States blundering but does it while looking great in evening wear… and also running a home with school age children…a home she really doesn’t like but she tolerates it because her husband would be sad to leave it. She can outflank the world’s greatest country while making sure her children’s toys are properly stowed and her personal sacrifices allow her husband to be content with a white elephant house…is there nothing a woman can’t do, given the chance?

The female CIA statin chief tells her paramour how to do his job. The male Sec. of State is hopelessly hidebound and can’t see how the new female President is going to forge a bright new path to the sunlit uplands of world politics.

The female US ambassador is always three steps ahead of everyone, including her capable husband (who is now the VP) but he needs to be saved from himself as often as he does the right thing… and his wife is just the woman to do it.

Boy, I feel better now that I’ve got that off my chest! I better ask my wife what I need to do with the rest of my day. After all, I’m only a man.

I didn't see the female President character as a girl-boss that the left wants to promote as how things should be.

She seemed to be a reference to Trump's style as the left thinks he is. She is seemingly impulsive, and doesn't communicate with her staff. She just declares a position and demands they comply, without explaining why. She is rude and abrupt, even with her husband. If an explanation does come forth, it is brutally pro-USA in a narrow way, but ignores any larger impact to global or ally interests which could very definitely impact US interests. She seems to almost lurch from one position to another, leaving her staff surprised.

Her staff works feverishly behind the scenes to keep the world safe from this President's illogical actions, even going against orders and clearly against the President's position. It is done in a way that makes the insubordination look virtuous.

All of this mirrors the cartoonish view the left has of Trump.

I tried to watch Season 1 and I don't think I made it through episode one, thinking it was all about girl power. Did I mis-read it? Sounds like it's worth watching.

^^^^ Yeah, as much as I am enamored by Keri Russell, I just couldn't get into it awhile back. Perhaps I'll give it another try.

Another grating feature of this show is its “West Wing” orientation that persons in power in the federal government are hyper-intelligent workaholics striving day and night to help the far less intelligent American people. Of course, these government representatives are liberal Democrats…. The opposition are religious zealots, xenophobes and Nazis.

It wildly contrasts with political reality wherein government is stacked with midwits, halfwits, grifters and less-than-savory deviants.

Where are the liberal characters that are senile like Joe Biden? Hopeless liberal imbeciles like Kamala Harris? Shameless liberal grifters like Maxine Waters? Serial female abusers that cause the deaths of innocent women like the liberal Ted Kennedy?

No, all those characters are Republican, if they appear at all.

I like the clever dialogue, but let the opposition get in some good points and I might watch your show.

Watched the first episode of the new season last night. The ad nauseam rantings of the main character got old. Don't know if I want to continue if its all about her banter. How many of the cast were in the West Wing?
