Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

winstonfg Let me say first: I really liked this show; and I thought it was canceled *way* too quickly.At the same time, I see echoes of 'Brooklyn South': another great show (also headed by Steven Bochco) that was canceled before its time; partly - I suspect - because it started stretching for story lines.While it was the story of a new - and uncertain - female POTUS, tackling the day-to-day machinations of the Hill, while at the same time having to prove herself as "as good as a man", I thought it was great viewing; but when it started to get into ERA and oil spills and nuclear crises, it seemed to lose its way a bit.Its strength (at least in the first 10 episodes) was in the character development of the main protagonists - in particular the transition of SOH Templeton (Donald Sutherland) from hissing villain to principled, but implacable, opponent - and if it had held that course, I think it might have been given a second chance.Unfortunately (I presume), ratings won out, and and a solid, intelligent show felt the pressure to provide "thrills" instead of substance - something it's main competitor (The West Wing) never compromised on.Pity. I would have liked to have seen a few more seasons about 'Mac' and her "team", and found out a bit more about them all. And if you can find the episodes that were made, I definitely recommend you give them a look - if only to work out just how stupid ratings wars are.

TutorReach This was my favorite TV drama when it was on. It was an exciting hour! Geena Davis was PERFECT in the role of Commander in Chief -- we were so lucky that she stooped to television to play this role. The story lines were compelling and I was often on the edge of my seat as if I were watching some sort of adventure/thriller and not a political drama. The supporting cast were awesome. The story lines not only reflected history or current events but possible future scenarios in world affairs. We all know Washington is a full of people with the highest and lowest motives, and that it is a hotbed of public and private intrigue and drama. This show didn't shy away from that one bit. I loved every minute of it! I was so disappointed and dumbfounded when it was cancelled -- it seemed to me without warning. If they can't make a go of it again as a TV series, then they should definitely make a movie!

A H After watching only the pilot, I was motivated to purchase the entire first (and only) season. Geena Davis is perfect for the role as President Mackenzie Allen. This series will grab you, make you interested in national affairs, as well as the internal family affairs. It almost makes you wonder why ABC took it off the air.I was also very pleased that the makers of Commander in Chief did not engage in ridiculous yet subtle political attacks. Although I do see them as slightly further left than right, they do present a mostly balanced view of Washington.This is a fantastic series, and everybody, interested in politics or not, should watch this show.(And tell ABC that your still waiting for more episodes)

Syl Okay, I wasn't much of a fan as I should have been. I think it's because dramas on television today have become more actor/actress driven than the writing etc. Anyway, this show should have been an easy slam dunk for the network who was known to making interesting decisions. First, Oscar Winner Geena Davis as a likable Vice President who becomes President was a great casting call. She was believable in the role. Second, the other cast members were equally perfect like Kyle Secor as the First Husband and Donald Sutherland as the President's friend and foe. I don't understand why the West Wing was such a hit but not this show. People were tuning in to see this show regularly. I guess the network didn't want the controversy of a female president. Think Hilary Rodham Clinton! Maybe they felt that women should just be resigned to playing mothers and wives like at Desperate Housewives or lovesick surgeons on Grey's Anatomy. This cancellation is appalling and the network executives should be ashamed of themselves for letting one of the good shows go.
