I downloaded the pilot of Commander in Chief a couple weeks ago when Apple and ABC made the show available via iTunes. I watched it for the first time today and I immediately bought the remaining 8 episodes. Needless to say, I am over half-way through the first season.
I have to admit, I was skeptical at first. Between shows like the West Wing and the existence of Hillary Clinton, I figured that this show was going to be another left wing propaganda stunt. Was I wrong. The writers of Commander in Chief and Geena Davis have done a wonderful job at creating a fair, balanced, and strong first female President. I also enjoy the parts played by Harry Lennix (as Jim Gardner: White House Chief of Staff), Kyle Secor (as Rod Calloway: The First Gentleman), and Donald Sutherland (as Nathan Temleton: Speaker of the House (R)).
I strongly recommend this show.
