I thought the speech in the opening scene of episode 1 was spot on for what's wrong with our country today.


People who took this speech as a literal portrayal of modern American society must of forgot their history lessons. It was simply a speech to create the character in the show. How can you possibly quanitfy anymore who's the greatest county in the world ? You can't, it's all subjective.

Sweat shops in the 1930's, American Riots during the Vietnam war and the great depression and the character said we're living in the worst of times? If that isn't showcasing ignorance I do not know what is. Since when did being the 1st in science or math in some scholastic empirical survery ever got us to the god damn moon, become the biggest country in GDP or foster civil liberties unheard of in the most cultural diverse nation in the world?

That was just all useless banter and rhetoric. America was (or is) great because people had the opportunity to act on their dreams. The only thing standing in our way now is ourselves.

This show would be great if all the characters didn't talk the same way. No one in real life talks that way at a million miles per hour.

It's an excellent series. I don't care for too much of the 'character drama', but it's a nice drama as far as the news issues.

Absolutely an excellent show. I liked the series finale,
It was a little bit too warm and fuzzy considering everything that went down in the final season, now give Sloan a spinoff show!

I agree Sheik, the actor who portrays that character was surprisingly good considering the show(s) they were in before this one.

I did like the personal drama parts as it gave the show a sense of closure... although some moments where things that made the viewer go "huh?"

I think I can understand why many criticize the show but overall I liked it a lot even with its faults.

I thought this last season was rushed and too tightly packed into 6 episodes. Overall, I loved the show. One of my all time favorites. I really enjoy Sorkins dialogue. Sharp, witty, fast.

I disliked the last two episodes.

I feel as if they should have done some things in reverse order. I would have
had Charlie die right before Will went to prison. Then everthing could have pretty much happened the same way. I think that one change would have made a huge difference.
