I just finished watching the series and I will admit that I was hooked in spite of the " most powerful man in the world" acting like a creepy obsessed manchild, not to mention Olivia, who couldn't make up her mind about any relationship and talk about multi-tasking....where did she find the time or the energy to run everyone and everything when she seemed to be jumping into bed with quite a variety of men. Olivia's constant bragging and self-importance got old as well. I ended up disliking most of the characters to the point where I lost any empathy for most of them. But I still watched probably to see if anyone was convicted of their crimes. Never a scene where someone didn't have a drink in hand, I felt that the show made a 180 turn from the fixing of bad situations to every character being involved in murder, blackmail etc. I think the one scene that did me in was the lengthy kiss on the WH lawn in full view of reporters and where were the secret service? My opinion is that this series wasn't horrible but it was way over the top.
