    just took the plunge on it - trying it out.....huge West Wing fan, so political drama/washington thing right up my alley.
    However I quickly learned that this is no the sunny / daytime Washington of my beloved West Wing. heh

    Shot well, plays like a suspenseful movie. Spacey is pretty good and grow to like him pretty fast, even as devious as he appears to be.
    Writing is not as good as anyone is saying, there really isn't that much to it and relies on the plot to have any substance.
    The whole newspaper/reporter angle harks to Newsroom -- so it's like underbelly West Wing x Newsroom. Hard to deny.
    Will keep watching, 3 eps in.
