TV Review: Madam Secretary

[Source]

I have been "binge watching" Madam Secretary the last few weeks (Ok mainly just on the weekends because being an adult with work and school is a time suck, lol.)

I love that they shine a new light on someone in politics. We get to see a made up home life of the Secretary of State.

 Tea Leoni and Time Daly are fantastic actors and really play their roles well. I have been watching Time Daly since his days on Wings (yes, I am old enough to have watched the first runs of this show.) I have always adored the brooding look on his face constantly which is interesting considering he is still extremely handsome despite the expression. Tea Leoni has the ability to really play any role handed to her with ease. She embodies everything a true actress needs: range, humor, uncommon beauty, style, and so many other many other attributes.

At the time and I believe they are still, Tea and Tim are a couple IRL which I believe shows in their performance. It is extremely hard to see that connection and admiration when it is two people who are lacking some sort of intimacy. It can and has been done, but it can be truly hard. 

Their kids on the show are smart, determined, and handle their parents busy lives well for the most part.

All of these characters were well laid out and play an important role in this show, they picked a perfect cast to showcase all of that.

I'm not usually one to be attracted to political based shows, but once I started watching it, I have been sucked in. 

It is hard for me to get completely into a show of any sort, I am usually working in my home office while I binge, so I really have to be into a show for it to keep my attention while I work. 

Take time and check this show out, you won't be sorry! Currently 3 seasons are on Netflix and season 4 starts on October 8th, 2017.
