An absolute cinematic disaster.
After years away from the CIA, Elizabeth McCord is pulled back into the political arena. The newly appointed Secretary of State is tough, fair, and smart, driving international diplomacy, wrangling office politics, and circumventing protocol as she negotiates global and domestic issues, both at the White House and at home.

Even the popcorn looked bored during Madam Secretary.

If Madam Secretary was a meal, it'd be unsalted rice with extra ego.

Unpopular opinion: Madam Secretary is the most overrated film of the decade
Honestly, Madam Secretary would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

The cinematography in Madam Secretary is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Rewatched Madam Secretary last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.

Hot Take: Madam Secretary's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Director clearly thought Madam Secretary was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.
