Rewatching The West Wing on Netflix. [View all]

What a series. Story, acting, production. It's all so well done.

I had watched the first episode some weeks ago and couldn't go on because it physically hurt to think of what's really happening now. So much of TV now is about monsters, evil, fear, crime and the dark side. Reality TV reflecting those things now occupies the real West Wing.

Then The American President was on the other night, directed by Rob Reiner. Martin Sheen plays the Chief of Staff to Michael Douglas as the President. It made me decide to go back to The West Wing. And now I can't stop. Getting to the end of the first season, when the president is convinced to stop playing it safe, and let his values determine his political decisions and actions.
Damn, it's inspiring.
