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 look forward to this show weekly. I have watched some episodes a couple of times. It has so many correlations to our politics today. We know Hillary, Madeline and Colin Powell follow the show! There are messages for us to hear in this show!
Please keep it coming for years to come. It is intelligent, well written and great acting with a little wit.
Man.. if CBS wants to let this amazing show go.. cmon @netflix; or @Hulu; or @Amazon… Give us Madam President!!

One of the BEST shows on TV. Please keep renewing it!
Love this series but now looking for series 6 in the uk
Please do not cancel this series. It is one of the best script going with an amazing cast. Tia Leoni is perfect in her part. Look forward to the episode every week.
Phenomenal show! Marvelous script writing and great cast. Tia Leoni perfectly casted and out performs ever episode. Issues that need to be brought to audience attention well done. Please do not cancel. Look forward to every episode.
Love this show. Tea Leoni is fantastic. I would vote for her to be President. She has innovative solutions to any world or domestic problems. There is humor and drama, love stories and sad stories. The cast is phenomenal. I love Tea and Tim together. They make a terrific couple. Their chemistry is contagious. The fact that they are a couple off screen shows. I believe you are setting her up to follow Madam Secretary with Madam President. Hoping I am right.
