Overview[]
Josiah Bartlet is the undisputed Master of the White House and the President of the United States of America. Purportedly the Most Powerful Man Alive; the idealistic crusader finds that reality to far more humbling than he would have expected.
Hampered by a hostile Congress, forced to make political concessions and backroom deals and compromises to the wheelers and dealers of Washington DC; Jed Bartlet and his dedicated staff struggles to run the sometimes baffling country and its contrary citizens ... while trying to maintain some semblance of a normal life. But its certainly not easy.
Yet Bartlet and his staff are making political history day by day from the administration offices of the White House known by insiders as ... the West Wing.
The West Wing was a long running American produced political-drama TV series with an ensemble cast starring Martin Sheen, Rob Lowe, Richard Schiff, Allison Janney, Bradley Whitford, Dulé Hill, and Janel Moloney. The series was created by Aaron Sorkin who had previously written the highly successful theatrical film, The American President. Sorkin had several unused plot ideas from his script and elected to use them in his later creation.
The West Wing was highly regarded by audiences and critics alike, winning multiple Primetime Emmy Awards, Peabody Awards, and Golden Globes over its series run. It was lavishly praised for its use of current political events and real life issues and is uniformly regarded as one of the finest TV dramas ever made.
