The West Wing

Cutthroat presidential advisers get their personal lives hopelessly tangled up with professional duties as they try to conduct the business of running a country. Fictional Democratic President Josiah "Jed" Bartlet suffers no fools, and that policy alienates many. He and his dedicated staffers struggle to balance the country's needs with the political realities of Washington, D.C., working through two presidential terms that include countless scandals, threats, and political scuffles, as well as the race to succeed Bartlet as the leader of the free world.
