 Following ABC's 18-episode run of Commander in Chief in 2005, CBS' Madam Secretary is the latest attempt at The West Wing 2.0. Exec produced by Morgan Freeman and created by the woman who did Joan of Arcadia, the show follows a former CIA agent turned University of Virginia professor who is asked to be the Secretary of State when the incumbent dies in a (mysterious) plane crash. It is part foreign policy debate, part office politics of the highest level, and part family drama, with a dash of conspiracy thriller. As of this thread going up, 3 episodes have aired, and they are available to stream on CBS.com. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNEu36NUWj4 Cast Elizabeth Faulkner McCord (Tea Leoni) is  Henry McCord (Tim Daly) is a theology professor at Georgetown  Russell Jackson (Zeljko Ivanek) is POTUS' Chief of Staff  Nadine Tolliver (Bebe Neuwirth) is Leo McGarry  Jay Whitman (Sebastian Arcelus) is Josh Lyman  Daisy Finch (Patina Miller) is CJ Cregg  Matt Mahone (Geoffrey Arend) is Sam Seaborn  Conrad Dalton (Keith Carradine) is POTUS

It only took 4 episodes for the strange and unnecessary "Tea Leoni in a bra" shot.

Comms girl: "Water is burning, Madam Secretary, and your name is linked to it. The optics of this couldn't be worse." MSec: "Optics? Seriously?" Comms girl: "I'm sorry. It's my job to tell you that." This one exchange illustrates why this show is the poor man's West Wing.
