Political Animals

Political Animals is a six-episode American miniseries created by Greg Berlanti. Sigourney Weaver portrays Elaine Barrish, a divorced former First Lady and Governor of Illinois, as well as the current Secretary of State. While the lead character does have some similarities to Hillary Clinton, Weaver has said in interviews that the show is "very much about families who have been in the White House and the price they've paid for being in the White House and the fact that families who have been in the White House often try to get back in the White House or continue to try and get in the White House

Elaine Barrish's husband Bud was a popular President of the United States during the 1990s despite his extramarital affairs. After leaving the White House, Elaine Barrish was elected Governor of Illinois and ran for the Democratic nomination for President, but lost to Paul Garcetti. The night Barrish conceded the nomination, she asked her husband for a divorce. Two years later, as Garcetti's Secretary of State, Barrish deals with State Department issues while trying to keep her family together.

Adrian Pasdar plays Paul Garcetti, the current president, remember him in Heroes? The guy who flys…haha… that’s the one.  Hmmm ..he does look like a political!

I’m surprise Sigourney Weaver took this role, she’s a big time actress…. But I guess she probably did it for fun. And who knows this could turn into the next West Wing. Unfortunately , it didn’t, it was cancelled for next season.  But I did enjoy this.
