10/10
Worth watching to understand the ugliness of politics

Warning: Spoilers
Other than the "Mayor" and one reporter (on the House of Usher) - I knew none of these actors! What an ensemble! The crescendo to the end was fabulous with intelligent scripts of strong women delivering the lines with exceptional acting. Since I was in politics for 13 years at the end of my prolific career in banking/regulating/international consulting - this political show is more than a 10! The main reporter is fabulous and her inter-relationships with Hunter S Thompson and the dead boss (my money is on you Polar Bear). Lola is so fabulous and quirky and targets those folks that don't understand the dirtiness of politics. Sadie and dude and their relationship is written well with his ending speech in last episode is heart-warming (I wish someone would have said that to me)! The newlyweds - wow - what a power couple - and her speech - realistic as hell! The "muse" (also the notification killer in Usher) really SHOWED her acting chops. The family - work dynamic is so realistically portrayed although would she rebound that quickly from jilted drug addict. Of course, Walker plays all those macho roles (on scandal) evil jackass roles so well.

Costumes and set designs are great - but again it's real life displayed.

Bravo Amy - writer of Chasing Hillary.

Season two should be intriguing.
