Loved the entire series! Series 1-3 is about the characters, then series 4-6 is more about the politics and how parties run for office, introducing more characters. Series 7 was a great finale 😊

The West Wing is one of the greatest TV shows ...of all time and is remarkably relevant to today's (post-Trump) American politics. A previous purchase included several damaged disks, so we were thrilled to be able to pick up Series 4 and 7 for a very low price.

I could have downloaded Series 7 from Sky, but ...that does not enable me to use subtitles. Therefore, I need to purchase or wait until Series 7 comes round again on Sky Atlantic

The departure of the 'West Wing' from the televisio...n schedule, has left a gaping lacuna. In a world where television and its audience seem to be interest in the lives of celebrity and realtiy contestants, real quality television seems to have become a thing of the past. 'West Wing' had its detractors, and with the departure of Aaron Sorkin somewhere around season three or four, it was in danger of being cancelled or losing its way. It didn't and after a shaky start, it came back as strong as ever. The reasons for its success are many, but principally because it was proof that good television is about the ensemble. Writers, producers, and actors are all part of a team, and no-one could dispute the power of the 'West Wing' team. It was funny, sad, poignant, relevant, topical, serious, flippant and a whole lot more. Sould it have continued into another series - I think not. Should other television programmes learn from it - I think so. Clever writing, and great directing, and superb acting will always win out in the end - regardless of the obsession for celebrity, and no matter whose reality it currently biting. Watch it, savour it, admire it, and even perhaps learn from it.
This was a used product, the playing of the DVD wa...s great, the packaging was a bit dog eared but that was to be expected. Ultimately I got a complete series of the West Wing at a great price.
