Review: Commander-in-Chief 104 – 118
After a joyful inauguration (16 million viewers premiere), it was quickly faced with dwindling ratings. A quick decision to replace creator Rod Lurie with a seasoned producer (Steve Bochco) didn’t help either. Drama seemed a bit distant, and story lines weren’t world changing. The mushy mix of feminism and patriotism isn’t something must-see week in week out, and the backdoor politics seemed highly predictable. Exit Geena Davis as Commander-in-Chief seemed like the right choice for ABC, and in this case, though the series was not half bad, I agree, so it can make way for new blood next season.
