Watchseries; Good show but now its too political. I have no idea how they allowed themselves to go down this road but its painful to watch. Leave the bashing at the door. Had decent writing but its an easy skip now. Political one sided bashing

Madam Secretary watchseries. I used to love this show. Now it seems they have no writers they just have them act out the 6:00 news to further their political agenda.
Madam Secretary herself turns out to be just a little too brilliant to be believable. I prefer characters that are a bit more flawed, and are not able to finish everyone's sentences with details that only an expert in that particular subject or field would normally know. It's also too convenient that she often has gone to college with, or knows personally, someone who becomes central to plots involving national security. Again, just too unrealistic. These things annoyed me a little at first, and by the time I hit episode 17, I had to throw in the towel – I just couldn't watch any more. Sorry Madam Secretary, I tried to like you.
The first seasons of this show were solid entertainment. Characters were easy to connect with and nicely balanced. There was solid action and intriguing situations. Unfortunately, the seasons of 2018 and 2019 have gotten increasingly preachy of left-wing political correctness. It has grown tiresome and pedantic. Please let the characters express themselves in great plot lines and stop being such maudlin leftist do-gooders. You are entertainers. Stop thinking you're more than that- it evokes pity.
Of all the new shows this season I decided to give Madam Secretary a shot as I have always liked Téa Leoni as an actor.
I watch a lot of television (propably too much). That being said Madam Secretary now ranks of one of my favorites.
Well scripted and well acted. This is not based on fact, it is television and should be taken for what it is; fiction. If you want reality watch the news.
I don't understand why some people are willing to judge a show by the first episode and not continue to give it a chance. It would be like judging a book by it's cover.
I look forward to watching this series and hope it has a long run.
Used to be a good show somewhere until the third season when propaganda kicked in. I quit after watching first episode of season 5.
