United Kingdom | The Guardian | "His witty, fast-paced dialogue – delivered at a gallop as the characters strode through the set –has plenty to admire, but it is the outstanding ensemble cast that brings 'WW' to life" | POS |
United States | The New York Times | "[About the 6th Season]: There should be term limits for television presidents. And one term was just right for 'The West Wing.' The prolongation of one of the best and most popular dramas on television is brave and at times bold, but often it is painful to watch." | NEU |
United States | Entertainment Weekly | "Sorkin knows how to make the camaraderie of working hard and pulling all-nighters seem like fun" | POS |
United States | The Hollywood Reporter | "A compelling, intelligent and wonderfully engaging drama." | POS |
United States | Miami Herald | "A drama so well written and artfully executed that if tonight's debut were expanded just a bit, it could stand as a feature film" | POS |
United States | Boston Globe | "A smart, exhilarating, well-written hour" | POS |
United States | The Wall Street Journal | "If the series continues at this level -- continues, that is, being handsomely produced, polished and thoroughly unexceptional in its content and aspirations, it should stand a very good chance of winning a bunch of Emmys." | NEU |
United States | The Washington Post | There are good performances, crispy-crunchy lines of dialogue and a few sizzly sparks. | POS |
