Madam Secretary, H50, FBI, Elementary & More – Sky Acquires Additional Seasons
Very glad to see Elementary is moving forward.
But, I’m at a loss to understand how Madam Secretary continues. Once Hillary’s campaign went down in flames, I hoped the show would follow. I guess there’s enough far-left ideologues out there, that need their weekly reeducation. All Hail Hillary!
Good job with Elementary. Next to no politics so far.
I don’t know, just like everyone else they throw a shot at Trump every once in awhile, but in general this is one of my favorite shows.
Indoctrination to the Liberal way constantly!
