    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Costume designer Lyn Paolo refused to borrow any designer clothes from fashion designers and insisted that each item worn by the characters be bought since the show frequently employs flashbacks and items are constantly reused.
    • Goofs
      Washington, D.C. rarely appears to have a winter. When the plot happens during a winter, often characters will wear light outdoor clothing, there is no trace of snow on the ground, and the sun doesn't rise late and set early.

    Unwatchable past season two
    It starts out well but just gets ridiculously stupid. KW overacts and is such an unbelievable character with pained facial expressions that the best thing I could do was turn it off.
