The West Wing
I thought the “West Wing” premiere last night was brilliant. In addition to deepening the storm of problems faced by the characters at the end of last season, this new crisis holds a funhouse mirror up to our current situation. When the camera panned over the candles and signs left for kidnapped Presidential daughter Zoey Bartlet, I couldn’t help thinking of similar displays around the world after Sept. 11. And the blustery interim President’s response was quite evocative as well.
Best writing on TV right now, bar none.
