Despite the show's obvious slant (to the left, if you don't know), I've been a fan of the West Wing since it first appeared on RTE. However, I'm really feeling like the program has lost its way. Each of the past two series were disappointments compared with the first couple of years, but there seems to be a much more marked down-turn in the quality of the West Wing this series (note: we're a few months behind the US showing).
I can't stand the soap opera like Josh and Amy storyline. But, it's more than that. It just feels less credible. I also think the program makers are no longer trying to soft pedal their hatred of President Bush and the type of people that support him. It's much more "in your face", this series.
