I'm almost done with the first season and love it. Thinking about buying the complete series (cheaper than buying each season individually). Is it worth it? I'd hate to buy the series if the shows starts going downhill around season 3 or 4.

Of course. It's the greatest show in the history of television.

It starts to get worse around season 4/5, but the remaining seasons are still fantastic. But like I said, the 1st 3 are probably the greatest in television in history.

Of course not. It's the most overrated, over acted show in the history of television.

Go on...

I feel like you have something against Sorkin...


And to the OP, the first 4 Seasons are brilliant, trails off after that. You can find the individual seasons on ebay for around 20 bucks a pop

I started with it on Netflix then ended up buying each season individually on amazon. Worth every penny. I've since watched the whole season one more time.

I agree with earlier posters that seasons 1-4 are the best but 5-7 are still really good. To whoever said Matt santos character brought the show down I can see how someone would think that but the election seasons are really interesting bc of how the shows go through the whole primary then general election process.

Stick with it and you won't regret it. When I was watching it for the first time I started a thread about the show and it went on for a while. I assume a search will pull it up

In my opinion, it is the best tv show of all time...
I watched them all when they aired and then bought each season...
Awesome stuff...

Only Sorkinites believe it went downhill. Some of the best stories took place after he left.

The show is 100% solid from episode 1 until the last episode.

I actually wish they had continued on with a new cast.

I didn't mind Santos and I really liked Alda's Vinnick.
