Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Made for history buffs. If you loved The West Wing or House of Cards, start here.
The mood: Intense.
The pace: 6 seasons and 120 episodes: a long-haul commitment, episodes of about 45 minutes, about 90 hours in all.
What might put you off: Rated TV-14. Probably too much for younger kids.
A big time investment at 6 seasons.

After years away from the CIA, Elizabeth McCord is pulled back into the political arena. The newly appointed Secretary of State is tough, fair, and smart, driving international diplomacy, wrangling office politics, and circumventing protocol as she negotiates global and domestic issues, both at the White House and at home.
