Madam Secretary
Not politics as usual.
Created by Barbara Hall
On CBS
A procedural political drama that balances high-stakes international crises with domestic warmth, built on the competence and integrity of its protagonist navigating both diplomacy and family.
After years away from the CIA, Elizabeth McCord is pulled back into the political arena. The newly appointed Secretary of State is tough, fair, and smart, driving international diplomacy, wrangling office politics, and circumventing protocol as she negotiates global and domestic issues, both at the White House and at home.
