The Guardian

"It’s not great, but if it can ratchet up the drama about three notches, and I think it can, we will be in for a good time."

Variety

Yet this lead-in to ‘The Good Wife’ plays more like a slightly simple-minded return to ‘The West Wing,’ with Tea Leoni as the reluctant Secretary of State.

Vulture

In the not great but likable and intelligent Madam Secretary, Téa Leoni’s talent gets a deserving showcase. This CBS drama about Elizabeth McCord, a former CIA agent and college professor tapped to be secretary of state, gives her a vehicle comparable to Julianna Margulies’s in The Good Wife.

The Hollywood Reporter

You can always trust CBS to create superior procedurals and rock-solid dramas — it’s almost alarming how on point and successful each one becomes.

IMDb

Being from Europe and not really interested in the details of US politics, I watched the show simply as entertainment and did not take it too seriously.

Madam Secretary and the President in this show are stated 'Independents', and often the show presents both sides of a problem.
