TV show description:
This dramatic series revolves around Elizabeth McCord (Tèa Leoni), a newly appointed Secretary of State. She’s a shrewd and determined woman who drives international diplomacy, battles office politics and circumvents protocol as she negotiates global and domestic issues — both at the White House and at home.
A college professor and a brilliant former CIA analyst who left the agency for ethical reasons, Elizabeth returns to public life at the request of the President — following the suspicious death of her predecessor.
President Conrad Dalton (Keith Carradine) values her apolitical leanings, her deep knowledge of the Middle East, and her flair for languages. He also appreciates her ability to not just think outside the box, but to not even acknowledge there is a box.
McCord debates third world problems, finesses foreign dignitaries at work and does battle with the President’s combative Chief of Staff Russell Jackson (Željko Ivanek).
Elizabeth’s team includes her Chief of Staff Nadine Tolliver (Bebe Neuwirth), speechwriter Matt Mahoney (Geoffrey Arend), press coordinator Daisy Grant (Patina Miller), and her charming assistant Blake Moran (Erich Bergen).
In her personal life, she has a supportive husband, Henry (Tim Daly), and three children — Stephanie “Stevie” (Wallis Currie-Wood), Alison (Katherine Herzer), and Jason (Evan Roe).
Episode #120 — Leaving the Station
President Elizabeth McCord kicks off a new landmark political initiative with help from members of the World Cup Champion U.S. Women’s Soccer team, while Flo Avery (Cicely Tyson), who was born the day women were granted the right to vote, looks on. Opposing the initiative is Senator Amy Ross (Tyne Daley) from Ohio. Also, the McCords overcome last-minute obstacles to pull off a spectacular family celebration with a reunion of familiar faces, that includes a performance by Peter Frampton.
First aired: December 8, 2019.
What do you think? Do you like the Madam Secretary TV show? Do you think it should have ended or been renewed for a seventh season?
Obviously promoting Hillary for 2016. I think this will be a turn off for voters. With that said I found it boring. I will not watch it again. HOPE it goes away soon!
Good God, I just realized that Hilly & Billy Clinton must have picked that cute sexy young actress to play a much younger Hilllbilly (Hillary) Clinton as part of the Current Hollywood Push & TVLand Campaign to Elect Silly Hilly Clinton to be Madame President in 2016, but I still do wonder exactly who gets to play Monica Lewinsky as well?
Watch it closely. It’s acting like a rerun of Benghazi. Trying to insinuate that the Embassy made the first shot to start the ending of the Ambassador and the very few that were trying to protect and were killed. It was sickening to watch and sickening to watch them try to twist what really happened. We turned it off and were disgusted that the Obama administration has its dirty little hands in everything to twist reality. This show should be taken off immediately . Shame on you tea lione for being a part of the lies. You must need the… Read more »
If you watched the entire show you would have seen they showed our security forces did not fire the first shots. Great show!
I didn’t think I would like it but I love it. It’s a good show that shows government issues but also it shows family issues too
Didn’t think I was going to watch it and now that I hear it’s promoting that awful Hilary Clinton, forget it…. I’ll never watch it! WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE?
Tried it Sep 28th. Didn’t like it that much. Good actors, but I didn’t like the Secretary of State character being so young. Brilliant and beautiful or not, a bit more gravitas and experience is what I would have found to b more realistic.
Amen! Hey Mon your not alone there! An older actor or actress for Sec of State sure would have added much needed realistic and creditability to this new TV Show! Hint why not make the talented young actress into a Deputy Sec of State instead?
Ralph, that would have been a much better idea.
Lets see..
☑ Promotes Big Government
☑ Promotes Women’s Empowerment
☑ Propaganda for Hillary Clinton 2016
Yep I think I’ll pass
Great show. I love it.
Hollywood already working hard to elect Hillary. I can not wait for the Bengazhi episode.
Well Matt you haven’t seen anything yet until you see the new upcoming and very exciting combined,ABC,NBC,CBS and FOX series Madame Hillary Clinton President that is to air in 2016! God Save The USA!
