From 1999 to 2006, Aaron Sorkin’s The West Wing raged as one of the best serial political drama shows of all time, amusing audiences worldwide with its outstanding plotline as it brought about Martin Sheen’s President Josiah Bartlet and his administration’s ways of tackling multiple political issues to maintain peace and harmony in the nation.
