Well, I come from Europe and studied politics and I really don't get why people link this series with the life of Hillary Clinton or any other secretary from before – cannot it no be a simple fiction rather than a necessary mirror of someone's life?
I watched the pilot and found a well scripted show with good actors and overall good mood and pleasant for watching but only if you do it as entertainment (which it should be) and make absurd connection to the real lives of the staff.
Tea Leoni is tailor made for this role while Ivanek and the rest are also not unknowns and rather familiars in such roles. Overall the cast is excellent, including the Secretary's 'anarchist' boy who makes very pleasant dialogues and enriches the show.
The pilot was more than a decent opening to what appears to be a promising TV show.
I am sure as episodes move forward more the show will become even better because the audience deserves a show of this genre ongoing.
