This fourth and last season for creator, Aaron Sorkin is certainly the best of the series. Every episode has you glued to your television. Make sure you leave yourself enough time to watch the last two episodes back to back. You haven't seen intense drama so perfectly crafted (especially the last ten minutes of the second to last episode) untill you've seen this. You'll be so stiff with concern, almost to the state of shock, before you realize the bitter taste of adrenalin in your own mouth. Sorkin, the director, and the actors (brilliant, every one) have you sympathizing with them so much, you'll think you're a part of it all. That's what drama is supposed to do. You'll want to watch it over and over.

(No spoilers in review)I cannot say this is the best series of the West Wing. The first series is the best, but this sure is close. I've seen series 1, 2, 3 and 4 - All are unbelievably great. This is better than series 3, it seems more focused and has some great story ideas. All the characters are up to their usual great standards and with some new ones added.
The climax to the series, however, is possibly the best piece of television I have ever seen. Any fan of the West Wing will recognise "2 Cathedrals" from series 2 as a legendary episode - the final episode of series 4 "25", surpasses that.
Right from episode one this series delivers the goods and it carries on all the way through. One or two episodes can't be considered brilliant, but there are certainly no bad episodes. Special mention goes to the episodes "Game On", "Evidence of things not seen", "Commencement", "25", "Inauguration part 1&2" (2 especially) and "The California 47th" - But as earlier stated, there are no bad episdoes.
I cannot wait until series 5 comes out. Once you watch series 4 you will be thinking that exact same thing as well!

Okay, so many West Wing fans felt that the third series dropped off the pace a little compared to the other two that preceded it. Some fans were also worried about the exit of one of the shows key characters Sam (Rob Lowe) in this fourth season and while I did have my reservations about the change in true WW style it's done brilliantly. His replacement Will Bailey (Joshua Malina) is just as good as Sam and possibly could even prove to be better than his predecessor.
As the usual the script is first rate. The writers have the canny knack of being able to blend intelligent and engaging scripts but pepper it with some incredibly funny dialogue and situations. Martin Sheen as usual has all the best lines and witty comebacks. However the opening couple of episodes which focus on Josh, Toby and Donna trying to get back to the White House after missing the motorcade is hilarious and raises some of the best laughs of the series.

This is definitely my favourite series of the West Wing so far. Looking over all the 23 episodes I can't find a single one that I didn't enjoy everyone.
Exciting events that occur in this series include; Sam leaving to take up the running of the California's 47th district campaign, the president facing repercussions over the Shareef's assassination,Toby's ex wife becoming pregnant with Toby's twins, President Bartlett's hiring of a new secretary (the brilliant Lili Tomlin),Charlie bidding to win back Zoey's love and the absolutely awesome and climatic last episode. If the last episode of Series 3 left you disappointed, this one won't.
Once again the West Wing proves itself to be the best American drama series around at the moment. The UK has nothing on television which can touch any drama the yanks have made. If you have the other 3 series on DVD, please don't hesitate to buy this especially if you didn't enjoy the 3rd season as much as the others.
THIS IS THE BEST SERIES OF THE WEST WING SO FAR !

Drifts a bit
Seasons one to three were excellent but this season drifts for most of it. It is still true any West Wing beats most of the drama produced today. Read more
