可能很多人都收悉这部剧集，已经很老的剧了，首演大概在 1998 左右。时代背景有点旧，但值此 the Great Lockdown 期间，在家重看一遍很能打发时间。在 Netflix 上。
这部剧描述的是一个民主党执政下的白宫，故事聚焦在总统与他的几个幕僚之间。不用担心，you won't be bothered too much by the liberal idealism that dotted the story line. This is Hollywood alright, but politics was never the focus of this show. They don't want to get too political either, that'll piss off half of the viewership! Instead, it shows people how humanized, and even interesting, politics can be. Debates on politics can appear from time to time, 但也仅止于让你看到一个议题的两面，而不会企图说服你什么，例如人口普查究竟是要数人头？还是用统计的方法？或者为何世界地图的长相，是我们现在看到的这种样子？等等。
Its walk-and-talk storytelling technique is a milestone, as many know. It's also thought-provoking, humorous, intelligent, and patriotic. Most importantly, it depicts a, fictional, world where politics is not ugly, hateful, paranoid, extreme, or life-and-death. It's just, well, differences in opinions.
其他方面如编剧、演员等等，也都非常出色。我尤其喜欢主角 Martin Sheen，身材不 高，但在充满喜感之中，仍然自然流露出总统的威严。（让我想起以前当兵时的师长，也是矮矮的，但不怒而威。有次师对抗，半夜一片漆黑的乡间道路上，阿兵哥沿着路两侧行军前进。路中间停了一辆吉普车，头灯耀眼处，只见师长的身影，手插双腰站在引擎盖上，面对着迎面走过的士兵。大家走过时都高声呼喊：“师长好！”他默不作声，只是盯着我们，一动不动。）
Anyway, I consider it the best TV series I've ever seen in my life hands down. I highly recommend it to everybody, especially those who like to watch PBS. Yes, it takes some intellectual capacity to appreciate its greatness.
Following is a clip from this show. Without knowing any context or anything, one can still feel the powerfulness through the music and the picture.
It's just a great entertainment. It shows you how politics is not ugly or hateful or resentful, as you see it. On the contrary, politics is just some differences in opinions. You can treat it with humor, humaneness, respect, or even love.

（我也很喜欢它的主题曲，稳重，平和，崇高。）
滚吧，这是政治版，求求你了。。。。
90年代的民主党总统在2016年给希拉里提了很多重要建议--比如打经济牌。后者压根没采纳。你这剧集不能代表当代民主党的价值观。
哎，原来没有读我的贴，呜呜呜，好伤心。它根本就不在贩卖任何价值观更无所谓当代不当代！
