What a shame this show ended. It was interesting to watch. A women in the White House with Class..Geena surprised me. This showed her real talent.. Why did it end? She made women who actually would run look small. Sure missit! Great writting team..
My wife and I enjoyed this new series.
Reminds us of The West Wing.
We were very dissappointed when they cancelled it.
Let’s start a petition to relaunch the series!
A petition for the return of this show is a great idea. Consider me as a signer. Only thing is they need to reduce the “previous show recap” and include more current segment drama.
