The best episodes of 'The West Wing' that dealt with policy and stuff, in my opinion, were the ones where they were in the middle of a crisis, and they were trying to figure out how to solve problems.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
'West Wing' was a show about politics.
I love a bit of political drama; 'The West Wing' is probably my favourite television series of all time.
When we were doing 'The West Wing,' the hardest thing about doing 'The West Wing' was being compared to yourself. You go out there and want every episode to be as good as your best episode. I wrote 88 episodes of 'The West Wing,' and when you do that, one of them is going to be your 88th best, so your 88th best better be pretty good.
I loved 'The West Wing'; it's my favourite-ever television show.
Whether it's 'The West Wing' or anything else, my first thought is always, 'What's a good story?'
'West Wing' was huge. Like 'Hamilton,' it pulls back the curtain on how decision-making happens at the highest level, or at least how you hope it would be. The amount of information Aaron Sorkin packs into a scene gave me this courage to trust the audience to keep up.
It's funny because 'West Wing' is similar to 'Game of Thrones' in some ways, as it was very hard to pull off back then.
For Democrats, nothing is any less complex than a 'West Wing' episode.
'The West Wing' was really important for me for a lot of reasons. It was the first thing I did when I got out to Los Angeles. I'd just finished school, and I was so naive.
I think 'The West Wing' hit at a moment in time that was just right for that show.
