This is available for streaming on Amazon instant video and wondered if it was worth watching. I don't see it come up a lot in peoples' best of lists. I also think that a lot of the issues and situations will be seen as outdated or irrelevant. Much like how The Newsroom will be seen as outdated a few years from now. What do you think? Still worth watching?

Very much still worth watching. An excellent show from beginning to end. A lot of people think the quality dipped when Sorkin left, but I think it stayed great all the way through. Even if all the subjects aren't entirely topical (and most of them still are), you get a stellar cast doing some of their best work, and the amount of excellent dialogue, speeches, and memorable moments are too many to count.

Watch at least the first 3 seasons and the last one. The rest are okay.

I think it's definitely worth watching. I went through it again just a year or so ago and found it amazingly relevant. And I liked even the post-Sorkin years.

Worth watching. The first three seasons are stellar and it's never truly bad and is always watchable after those seasons.

Eminently rewatchable show. One of my favorite dramas of all time.

season5 is only average but the rest are really good

I loved the first 3 seasons but found the dialogue in the post-Sorkin years to be awful in comparison to the Sorkin years. Perhaps not in comparison to normal shows, but the words that the characters were saying were mind boggling and I just couldn't keep watching.

Absolutely worth watching. The first 2 seasons are the best seasons of TV I've ever seen (followed closely by The Shield & The Wire).

Okay, I'm sold. I'll check it out. Appreciate the comments.

Great writing, great acting...you should enjoy it.
