Geena Davis deserved the Golden Globe she won in her first season as the first female American President on Commander in Chief. Though best known for quirky or comedic roles in films like The Accidental Tourist or Thelma and Louise, Davis has summoned terrific gravitas, leavened by just enough wry humor, to be perfectly believable as President Mackenzie Allen, blazing political trails and trying to be present for her family--while never, ever letting down her guard. Her arch-nemesis is played with Snidely Whiplash devilishness by Donald Sutherland, the Speaker of the House with his own powerful, possibly destructive, agenda. Davis is by turns steely and contemplative, and self-possessed in a way none of her previous roles have shown her to be. "What a town," the President mutters during yet another political crisis. "You can't even trust the back-stabbers." But you can trust that Davis is simply smashing in the lead role and makes the series a must-watch for fans of political dramas and of series with great roles for women. This two-set disc includes the pilot and nine other episodes. --A.T. Hurley

Cammander in Chief Part I January 9, 2010
Sharron A. Naab (NM)
Product what I expected. I like the series. Service was good & no defects with the DVD's. Thank You
 Check out this show! May 29, 2009
Veronica Murphy (Florida)
I discovered this show and am so sad it didn't get to run longer on the networks. Geena Davis does an amazing job as the first woman president; the plot starts out strong, gets a bit weak, but does a good job of keeping your attention. Check it out! You won't be disappointed:)
sooo glad I found this set! February 6, 2009

I was reading the USA magazine in my Sunday paper. A person wrote in to ask what happened to the series. So I went online and voila!
Why they yanked this show? January 22, 2009

It's unheard of. Geena Davis got GOLDEN GLOBE for her part.
So why only 1 season?
Is it because Hila Clintn and her husband, Willard?
Big West Wing Fan, this one comes close! December 18, 2008
Todd Hagopian (Michigan)
Geena Davis is fantastic, and there is much more to the plot than West Wing ever had. I love the thought of an independent, female president taking over in a sudden accident. The plot thickens from there, and is exciting the whole way through.
The only thing that makes the west wing better is that Aaron Sorkin is incredible at writing comedy, and this one lacks that aspect (even though there is plenty of possible comedy there).
Overall, I loved the series...second best political show on television.
