See it if Nagle moving/inspiring embodying Southern Senator who changes in response to mass shooting of children; completely owns the role

Don't see it if script oversimplifies complex politics of gun control debate, scenes of Senator w wife and those w campaign manager too writerly

See it if you are troubled by the current state of affairs in the U.S. & are concerned with gun control, religion & the blue state/red state divide

Don't see it if you do not question Christianity and/or the 2nd Amendment at all

Also This is billed as a comedy (it's not) and the premise is rather implausible ..or is it? It's really about personal honesty vs.giving the people what they want. The entire cast is brilliant.... Read more Read less

Don't see it if You don't want to hear about politics, religion & gun control. If questioning existence of a "God" offends you.

Also This show will definitely divide an audience based in their beliefs in politics, religion and gun control. It doesn't really give a definite answer, but rather leaves it up to the audience to decide what is best for them. There was lots of humorous moments, but it in itself wasn't really a comedy. The humor made it easier to bring up difficult topics. Short show at 70 min.... Read more Read less
