No Place to Hide
I really enjoyed West Wing during the Sorkin era. It lost some of it's snap and pull when he left and the plots trended toward the TV-mean. But it was still quite a good enough show to standout on network television. But the problem, for me, became the increasingly inescapable disparity between West Wing the show and West Wing the reality. Early West Wing gave a few minutes of refuge each week from what started out as a disappointing reality. Over the course of its run, my disappointment as evolved into horror, dispair and shame over revealed reality. As a result, West Wing the show lost its ability to offer that few minutes of escape each week and I, in turn, lost interest in it.
