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.

I try not to miss any episode. This is one of the better shows on TV, with what is a reasonable limit on violence, language and sex that makes it pretty family acceptable. The story lines are complex enough to be challenging and make it “believable”. The characters work so well together.
Love the show please keep it going. I hate the reality tv shows . There are very shows worth watching. MadSec is my show I wish it was on more than an hour.
I think it should continue. It is a good show. the characters are growing and addressing real life issues with family and job situations. The show will not go on forever but a few more seasons will be great.
I absolutely LOVE the show and LOVE Tea Leoni even more. She is so natural and adorable and a really great actor. I fell in love with Tea from the Jurassic Park 3 movie, her comic timing is pitch perfect, plus she is just really adorable. Did I mention she is adorable? This is the first time I’ve ever written to a show about an actor, but I have thought since the first season that I wanted to write and congratulate her, the supporting actors and the incredible writers. I just never stopped to do it (work and school, whew)… Read more »
