What do you think? Are you a fan of the Madam Secretary TV series? Do you plan to watch the fourth season on CBS?
Now that the elections are complete.
Perhaps the ‘Hillary’ comparisons are at an end.
(Madeleine Albright maybe… lol)
This is Tea’ & Co’s best work since Deep Impact.
We discovered the show after season 1 was posted on Netflix, Great role models for our 11 & 13 year old grandkids.
We are not Broadcast TV watchers, but the hustle home from Church on Sunday eve. is comical.
Thanks CBS big thumbs up….

I have watched Madam Secretary from the first show. The cast is stellar, as well as the writing. It also shows the viewers that issues are not black and white, and that the smallest issue can have catastrophic consequences. I love this show!
