It can be entertaining, but it's like very dumbed down geopolitics for dummies. OK if you accept it's not even remotely realistic, so I'll go with Freedom Show.

It's also a bit weird though how the attitude of "It's a show about a Secretary of State except she's a WOMAN" is some sort of novelty too considering before John Kerry three out of the last four Secretaries of State were women.

I haven't seen the show, so I can't give my own opinion.

Numerous of my conservative-leaning friends hate it, calling it "Hillary propaganda."

It's a terrible show with ridiculous script 'writing', laughable characters and poor acting.

It sounds like you've got a lot of very stupid and paranoid friends.

My mum watches it and she said that it's pretty right wing, if anything. Though I suppose that's not mutually exclusive with "Hillary propaganda".

I don't really feel like I have an incentive to watch it. I don't care if it's Hillary propaganda either way.

Looks like a major HS; probably pro-Hillary propaganda.  Even if it wasn't, it still looks like a pretty awful show.

Even though the main character is kind of reminiscient of Hillary I don't see how you can call it propaganda. She isn't always all that likable that starters. But why would a liberal Democrat disapprove of Hillary propaganda anyway?

The weirdest thing is how it acts like major geopolitical issues pop up one at a time but can be neatly resolved within 44 minutes plus commercials. But that's clearly an Acceptable Break From Reality (to quote TV Tropes).

I don't watch it. Sunday is reserved for either football or pro wrestling.

It's an hour-long on broadcast television so obviously terrible.

My wife and I regularly watch The Good Wife off our DVR. Since football games often run late, we set the recording to 2 hours and often find much of MS recorded before GW. I've found both the script and acting to be weak and uninspiring. It certainly hasn't been enough to warrant an earlier start to the recordings, rather it has led to a probable fast forward. Unless there's something special about the first 15 minutes of an episode that I miss, I can only give it an HS rating.

I found the first few episodes okay, but I haven't scene it since mid October now.
