Was thinking of checking it out but politics have changed so goddamn much since it aired that I figured its version of the president and “scandals” would seem adorable by modern standards. Is it still worth watching on the strength of the writing and acting, even if its version of things is probably an idealist fantasy at this point?

Also, i’m a Democrat, but I wondered if they at all made the conservative characters have any depth or if they’re just cartoonish villains? I realize them being cartoonish villains is actually more realistic in 2025, but it’d make for a more interesting show if they at least had some layers to them.
