The West Wing (Seasons 1–7)

The West Wing (1999–2006) is Aaron Sorkin's political drama, available to watch online on iFILM. Across seven seasons it follows the staffers who keep the White House running, with the president usually off to the side and his aides front and center.

Chief of staff Leo McGarry (John Spencer), his deputy Josh Lyman (Bradley Whitford), press secretary C.J. Cregg (Allison Janney) and speechwriter Sam Seaborn (Rob Lowe) carry the administration of President Jed Bartlet, played by Martin Sheen. Forget conspiracies and gunfire. The drama lives in bill markups, leaked memos, late-night strategy sessions and the rapid-fire Sorkin dialogue characters fire off while pacing the corridors.

The show pulled in 26 Emmy Awards, including four straight wins for Outstanding Drama Series, a record in that category. It's built for viewers who'd rather watch smart people argue policy than chase backstabbing for its own sake. Stream every season of The West Wing online on iFILM.
