the west wing
oh, how bereft I feel: we have finally completed viewing the entire seven seasons of “the west wing”. a project idly started on anniversary weekend (end of jan) which has encompassed over six months, and if my maths is right, approximately 100 hours.
the final episodes we watched this week were nearly heartbreaking as we could see the stories being wrapped up, and for about the millionth time we sighed “if only the white house and the administration could be really like that”.
i wish it was still going on - in the same way i wish they were still making “the sopranos” - because the storylines were awesome, the characters rounded and the politics resonated only too well with real events and situations.
if you haven’t seen it, start at the beginning and set aside approximately 100 hours. next up for us - “commander in chief” and the movie “the american president” i think, although we might slot “outrageous fortune” in the middle as it’s in season 4 and we haven’t watched one minute of it yet.
