Currently laid up in bed again due to a recurring health problem & need a new show to binge on.

Have got access to both full series of WW and TGW

Looking for opinions on which one to go for 🤔

They are both really really good! West Wing probably a better binge though.

ZebraKid71 · 15/02/2023 16:21

Both are brilliant!

KingscoteStaff · 15/02/2023 16:21

First 5 series of WW, then Good Wife.

Wishiwasatailor · 15/02/2023 16:22

Ooh both are so good! I think the good wife is easier to binge though

HerbErtlinger · 15/02/2023 16:22

Love them both and an currently rewatching The Good Wife but honestly, you need to watch The West wing. It's just wonderful

I loved the Good Wife

Brazilagogo · 15/02/2023 16:26

West Wing. Recently rewatched for the first time since it aired and amazed at how relevant many of the political issues were. A lot of the fast talking still went over my head (again 😊)

TreacleMcDoo · 15/02/2023 16:35

WW doesn't date! We are currently re watching again and are on season 4. It is Ds2 (16) favourite tv show.

Don't forget Newsroom, also written by Sorkin

Good Wife also very good

Beachhutnut · 15/02/2023 17:16

West wing is superior but you won't be disappointed with with either.

If you’re feeling a bit poorly I would go for good wife, one of my favourite shows of all time

i feel west wing needs more attention.

Newnamenewme23 · 15/02/2023 17:17

Good wife.

absolutely couldn’t get into the WW. Can’t see why it’s considered so great. It’s just people wandering around talking crap, with no plot I can see. Even if it does have rob lowe and stockard channing.

Drywhitefruitycidergin · 15/02/2023 17:18

Both brilliant - West Wing for me but I have recently rewatched The Good Wife.

roarfeckingroarr · 15/02/2023 19:09

TGW - love it. Just finishing rewatching it all myself and so sad it's nearly over.

roarfeckingroarr · 15/02/2023 19:10

Can anyone recommend anything like TGW? The good fight was alright but not as good.

Marilla1966 · 15/02/2023 19:21

West Wing. The greatest tv show ever!!!

justasking111 · 15/02/2023 19:28

If you're poorly GW you may doze a bit and miss crucial details

Gunpowder · 15/02/2023 19:32

They are both so good. I’m jealous!

PetitPorpoise · 15/02/2023 19:35

The West Wing is God Tier

I've opted for TGW because I do tend to doze off due the amount of pain relief I'm taking.

WW will be next though

Good to see they both get such good recommendations

Just to say how wonderful that you have BOTH to look forward.... both are utterly fab and Ive rewatched and continue to enjoy ... TGW with feisty female lead more engaging when unwell ... WW utterly wonderful too
