magazine's editors pick a season of a television show they'd recommend you binge-watch while in quarantine. This week, senior digital editor Maxine Wally shares her go-to season of television to watch when 2020 political brouhaha gets you down., the Aaron Sorkin classic often at the top of “Best TV Shows of All Time” lists, hits different amid four years spent with President of the United States Donald Trump and the landmark, unprecedented election year in progress.
For a brief moment, Bradley Whitford is Josh Lyman, a fast-talking deputy chief of staff; Rob Lowe, with a full head of hair, is the lovable bro Sam Seaborn. They pace down the hallways of the White House discussing matters of state—but most importantly, they are smart, able to not only string together full sentences, but also insightful ones. It never feels like they’re trying to deceive any members of the public with the legislation they’re trying to put in place.
The characters on this show were brilliantly written, so much so that they felt like people first, and politicians second. Sure, the entire show centers politics, but the issues and conflicts in its storylines were entirely human. I've never been able to relate to a politician before. But with, I could. In my eyes, the characters are at their purest during the first season. But the entire series is worth binging if you haven’t already.
