Title: The West Wing (TV series)
Post by: TeaLeaf on September 20, 2014, 10:10:15 PM
Old I know, but I finally got around to watching it (all 7 series) this past month.

Brilliant, thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommended.   It's not massive budget, some of the plot is predictable at times, the mid-season still has a 'filler' episode (just like every other series), but kept me really well entertained and in several places glued to the story line.

Glad I finally got around to watching it.   Now to decide which series I need to blitz next....

The West Wing was superb - I would recommend The Newsroom, since it's also written by the same guy.

If you haven't seen Breaking Bad yet, I can't really recommend that enough. I'm going to stick my neck out and say that I thought it was up there with The Wire....

Loved the writing on The West Wing and also loved the casting.

One of my all-time favourite series.

There's two recommendations for me then, Newsroom and Breaking Bad.   Thank'ee kindly!


Suits is good fun, pretty predictable, but entertaining none the less and one I watch when it is on.

Scandal.. Wonderful viewing, lots of bits for geeks to enjoy and a plotline that spans three seasons.. I watched it on Netflix about a year back

You really do, west wing rates as one of the best series I've seen, and sorkin is a brilliant writer
