It's remarkable how much The West Wing holds up 20 years after its first Outstanding Drama Series Emmy

The Aaron Sorkin NBC drama won its first of four consecutive Outstanding Drama Series Emmys on Sept. 10, 2000. "Watching the series again 20 years after its first of four consecutive best-drama Emmys, it's remarkable how well Aaron Sorkin's creation holds up, and how much of the Bartlet presidency still echoes through our current politics," says Brian Lowry. "Revisiting the NBC series (which is available on Netflix and was produced by Warner Bros. Television, like CNN and HBO Max, part of WarnerMedia) underscores the patriotism and idealism, as well as intelligence and humor, the show embodied."
