Political Animals wants to act like a distaff West Wing, a thinly veiled account of Hillary Clinton’s failed 2008 presidential bid. A great foundation for a juicy story about politics, journalism, and family legacies in the public sector is laid, but then it veers off course.

Wildly off course, in fact, dipping into Dynasty-style soap opera gimmicks. Thankfully, Sigourney Weaver, Carla Gugino, Ellen Burstyn, and Sebastian Stan are involved to keep things moving and (generally) working.
