There isn’t much time for me to write and talk about things so this post will be as quick as possible. You see, a major flaw with this show is that it was trying to be set in reality while at the same time, being too much fictitious. I didn’t like how it kept mentioning real people that it couldn’t co-exist with in reality. For instance, they mentioned Rod Blagojevich a lot in a world where Peter Florick would have to have been the governor of Illinois instead. I felt that it couldn’t have it both ways.
There was a part of the show that was just way off. It said that there was a gubernatorial election for governor of Illinois in 2012. One never happened that year in this state. It is very easy to look up when Illinois does elections for governor. Maybe they just wanted it done that badly for some reason at that time. But then they had Peter running against all of the real Democratic candidates for president only to fail by winning just four counties in the state of Iowa. I don’t think that the time frame of when they did the primary on the show matched up as well as it could have, although it was better and made plenty of more sense than the other one did.
I just don’t like them trying to say that something went a certain way in reality and present a conflicting narrative within the show that couldn’t have also happened when you think about it. There isn’t too much else to say as I’m not sure that I’m even making sense to others. I don’t like some aspects of what they did in the end. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.
