Don't like the story lines with the oldest daughter, though.

Reminds me a bit of West Wing.

They are doing a good job.

I liked "The Good Wife," but they have gotten too far afield. And I am not finding the Illinois politics credible. I will be watching this show instead.

I especially liked the twist last week with her becoming Acting President. What are the chances though of the Vice-President being ill in the hospital, the President's plane missing (on which he has the Speaker of the House) and the President Pro Tem of the Senate being incompetent. That would be a long shot. I did like the added bonus of Morgan Freeman appearing as the Chief Justice.

I loved the bit with Morgan Freeman. He certainly looked more like a Chief Justice than our present real one does.

I think he got a kick out of playing the part too. It gave him a chance to come from behind the scenes to play a role in the series. I bet we'll see him again if the president gets reelected.

Well written and included so many current events.

***Spoiler***



It is nice to see Russell and Elizabeth working together rather than against each other. I hope they do "bury" that Craig guy because he's a pompous asshole.
