I have high hopes but I have yet to see greatness. I know its incredibly wrong and shallow to compare this to The West Wing but its hard not to. It will be hard to go from experiencing "Its Good To Be An American Moments" to "Its Good To Be Watching TV Moments." The opening Judd Hirsch diatribe was kinda contrived and old Sorkin would have shown the speech at the end and we would have marveled at it. I will keep watching with great anticipation and hope
