Who would love this
- ♥likely appreciate intelligent dialogue, a hopeful (though not naive) outlook on public service, and well-developed characters. Viewers interested in politics, policy, and the human side of governance will find much to enjoy. It particularly appeals to those who value idealism and a belief in the power of good intentions and hard work.
Who might not
- ✗may find its idealism unrealistic or its dialogue overly verbose. Viewers who prefer grittier, more cynical portrayals of politics, or those who are put off by rapid-fire speech and a less overtly comedic tone, might not connect with the show. Some may also find certain aspects, like portrayals of sexism or racism, to be dated.
