All my life, I thought why do politicians do politics and why do honest people who work with integrity get left behind most of the time.
I got a fair idea of why it happens after watching this series. Of course, there are some story arcs that are not so interesting. But, this TV series taught what kind of problems a man like Chuck Rhoades can get into, to a point where he has to compromise his ideals to partner with the ones he was fighting against. This series taught me politics.
But wronging those who trust you will make you a pariah and you will face their wrath.
