The West Wing

Post by mos dan » Tue Oct 31, 2006 12:35 am

Anyone else a fan? I missed out on it first time round but have now seen series 1-6 on dvd. (No spoilers pls, still not watched series 7 yet :))

Josh Lyman is pretty much my all-time hero. 8)

My flatmate and I watch it with subtitles so we don't miss anything - the dialogue is just unbelievably sharp.

And before anyone slates it for this reason, I don't care how much it idealises its protagonists, it works for me - and in the post 2000 stolen election context I think idealising those at the heart of the American political process, and restoring faith in the idea that beliefs could come before corruption and patronage, was nothing short of heroic.

you are correct. :)

get series 1 on dvd when you've got a bit of cash and after that you'll be hooked i promise, you'll be on play.com on a monthly basis for the next one!
