The West Wing (TV series)

TeaLeaf · 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....

No sneaky I haven't but I have been watching the newsroom which I know benny has also been enjoying

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....

i have watched newsroom as well, sky on demand is good for that.
recently been watching the complete series of firefly and the movie serenity.

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

Got the full box set for a gift oh X years ago from my bro. As yet unopened. Seems it needs to be.

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