Drama at it's best
What can one say about the west Wing that hasn't already been said? The political drama set in the administrative 'West' wing of the White House concentrates on a group of dedicated people supporting probably the best President America will ever have! The winner of four consecutive Emmy Awards as Outstanding Drama Series,under the direction of executive producer John Wells it offers viewers a realistic, behind-the-scenes peek into the Oval Office as seen through the eyes of its eclectic group of frenzied staffers and the devoted First Family.
It is a very fast paced drama and knowledge of the American political system does help but it certainly doesn't hinder any enjoyment you may have should you know absolutely nothing about American politics.
Just when you think the writers can't improve, out they come with episode after episode of high quality drama. I cannot rate this drama highly enough and if you are a fan or good quality writing, drama and acting; then this is the series for you.
Martin Sheen stars as the President, his support cast include Rob Lowe, Stockard Channing, Dule Hill, John Spencer and Bradley Whitford. -

Great story lines - but the characters?
Much as this series is enthralling and has tremendous storylines it can be a bit irritating that so many of the characters have exactly the same way of speaking and pretty thin personalities - maybe that is true in real life!
Martin Sheen is outstanding as the president and when difficult decisons are being made he conveys brilliantly the difference between a human making a tough decision and a president with the same problems.
You could even end up being sympathetic to George Bush - or, more likely wondering how on earth he can be the president! -
