Customer Reviews

Excellent
Season 4 of The West Wing is incredibly good. The writing is as sharp as ever and the characters are as likeable as ever. This season saw the departure of Rob Lowe but this did not harm the show in any way. There are some great cameos in this one notably from Matthew Perry and Christian Slater. The last few episodes are as good as anything you'll see in any TV show. Brilliantly written and perfectly acted, season 4 is a must see.

Still just as good
This season picks up where the others left off and is just as good and comes just as highly recommended. Theres not a lot to say that others haven't already said, except that the speech given in 20 hours in america part 2 about the college bombings is probably one of the best written things I've ever heard.

Damn, This Is Good...
As the re-election campaign draws to a close we get several examples of why this staff managed to get him the seat in the first place, and why Bartlet himself managed to beat his republican opponents once; and why he can do it again. His oratory skill is one of the primary reasons Sheen was cast for the series, and why Bartlet was elected the first time. This time, however, the guys find themselves unable to run the campaign they've always wanted to run. New temporary staff is drafted in to help teach them all "not to bother anybody" as a result of the president's MS blunder, and yet in the end Bartlet will be Bartlet.

Two Emmy awards this season; it's been going downhill from the start - from nine to eight to five to... two. That doesn't mean it's not as good as the others, the second season is better than the first, and this one is just as good as the third. The cast is still the same and they get better and better - the show just doesn't live up to the earlier seasons because of the plot. Too much of it is the sort of stuff we've seen before. The political battles... it's still just as well-made, it's just that we've seen it before. The continuation bit is the campaign, the character relationships and the romantic interests.

This is the last season with Sorkin as the writer, and he leaves with a bang. The ending is a real piece of work, a fantastic cliffhanger that leaves your heart pounding... and gets you to order the continuation before you can say "twenty-five".
