Dazzling ... The writing is Sorkin at the top of his game, which is to say it's as good or better than anything on television.—The Baltimore Sun
Mike Duffy
The West Wing, the very best show on network television, isn't merely high-quality eye candy. It's also a sublime treat for the ears. Call it NBC's brilliant example of 'Must Hear TV'...Sorkin's happily unabashed verbal theatricality -- whether it flows from a Josh-and-Donna tongue tango, a crackerjack C.J. Cregg press briefing, or one of President Bartlet's showstopping arias of vibrant political oratory -- gives The West Wing a unique, mesmerizing sound all its own.— Detroit News and Free Press
Rick Kushman
This eloquent, elegant series from TV's best writer, Aaron Sorkin, is no longer just a great show, it's become a national hour of healing. The only remotely reasonable, let alone well-written, political words we hear these days come from the Jed Bartlet administration...[I]t takes issues of substance and makes them understandable, important and still entertaining.— Sacramento Bee
