Madam Secretary is a one hour drama about Téa Leoni as the secretary of state.

In Season 5 episode 17 they tell the story of unexpected immigrants and nationwide vaccinations.

I'd like each of you to read the user reviews for that episode, posted in March of 2019.

Then remember that a substantial portion of Americans are not fortune tellers. Or very attentive to the world around them

I don't consider TV dramas to be truth tellers of government activity. Their main aim is to generate viewers who are then bombarded with endless commercials.

Thats nice and you clearly did not read one review and you clearly ignored my post too.
Good job.
You'll fit right in.

I read your post. And I clicked on the link. I actually read many of the reviews. So, it is obvious some people didn't like what they saw and heard.

I don't put much faith in the innate intelligence of rabid TV watchers. That you do is fine with me. I am not going to criticize you for it.

But for you to describe reviews for a TV show that is not seen by the majority in the country as meaningful, strikes me as naive.

Tea Leoni is a good looking woman. But she is far too young to be viewed as an actual Secretary of State. That's my opinion.

I loved Geena Davis as a woman POTUS in the 2005 drama "Commander in Chief." But then, I adore Geena Davis. Too bad ABC wouldn't stick with it and kept moving its broadcast day around until I got tired of searching for the show.

But that drama also wasn't grounded in reality.

Try reading the reviews. You may change your mind. Remember it was from Mar 2019.

PS - I see you read it. No comments about how accurately it predicted the future???

It didnt just predict a pandemic, it also predicted how much of America would respond to it. That was really the takeaway here. The misinformation is so regular and reliable that you know where the propaganda machine is going to spin. And you know exactly what the misinformed will say. Because they arent original. And they all get their talking points from the same two or three sources and just spread their shit around, like a dog on the carpet.
