Just started watching this on Netflix. Up to episode 11 Season 1. Never watched it back in the day. Very very good show so far. Very likable characters and well written. I think Martin Sheen pulls of the role of the President very well. Some of his little speeches are quite impressive.

great characters and great show. Season 2 finale was one of the better episodes of TV I have seen in a while.

It's my favorite show ever.

BB is climbing, and I just started the Wire, so that may change.

I think it's seasons 1 through 3 that are really very good television. I believe it's season 4 that really starts to shite the bed. Then it just sucks in season 5. Never made it passed that.

My favorite show of all time.

I could quote chapter and verse, but I won't do that to y'all.

The only full series box set I own. Amazing show.

Best show that I have ever seen.

Each episode is like a really good movie.

The section where Zoe gets kidnapped - those 4-5 episodes - was just phenomenal. If that was all a movie, it would be an amazing movie that people would be talking about for a long time.

Excellent show. I've watched it through and will do so again.

Buckle your set belt. You are now watching one of the greatest series in TV history.

I start watching a couple of months back (along with a slew of other shows I had to watch on top of this great one) and now that SOA and BB came out and many others, I'm stuck on season 6.


Pretty much everything everyone says in this thread is spot on about the show

My husband just discovered this not too long on Netflix as well. He finished every episode in less than 2 months He loved it and actually looked depressed after watching the final episode.



I didn't keep up with it, but watched a couple episodes, seemed good.

I loved the first 3 seasons of West Wing.

Martin Sheen is one of the few actors big enough to grab that role. The initial premise of the show was suppose to focus more on Sam (Rob Lowe) but Sheens character was a too compelling. I think it's why Lowe left the show eventually.

Kiss the black haired annoying broad goodbye in season one...she lacked the chemistry with the rest of the ensemble. CJ is the diamond of the show.. At first I was like "meh" about her..but she (played by Allison Janey) became the strongest of the show bar-none (reason why she won an arse load of Emmy's for that role). The show was brilliantly written and as it goes on, it just soars above so many other political drama's. Also loved how the final 2 seasons you couldnt help but like the heck out of Alan Alda and Jimmy Smits, and Mary MaCormack. Truly one of televisions greatest series ever made winning a total of 26 Emmy awards.
