I guess I'm about to give up on this show.
Far too much preachy stuff with the crew on the obviously good side, with little complication or nuance. I guess unavoidable given your political climate in the US, but still. (In a show like Madam Secretary that so obviously is counter-programming to real politics I get it, but here...?)
I miss the show where the crew members were fallible. Schlobs, adulterers, drunkards, pheromonal goo-lovers... I miss the sense of them being decidedly a B-team.
Now they're the crew at the forefront of every major crisis in the Union, and every flaw has been polished away.
This show is interested in bashing in already wide-open doors. It makes me long for the irreverence of McFarland's other shows.
It was there in S1 but I'm afraid that after this week's episode any hope of it is thoroughly gone.
