The West Wing
1999-2006 | Drama | USA | Created by Aaron Sorkin
Overview
Walk and talk: the Bartlet White House with Sorkin dialogue at full sprint. Martin Sheen as the president, Bradley Whitford, Allison Janney, Rob Lowe, the ensemble idealism. Four straight Best Drama Emmys. Two Cathedrals, the Latin rant in the rain, set the high bar for American political drama. What is next: the show asked better questions than the news.
