Lian Dolan and Julie Dolan of the Satellite Sisters recap the CBS drama, Madam Secretary called The Beautiful Game

Three storylines

Iran/Isreal Peace Deal

Nobel Nomination vs. Madam Sexy-tary

Personal Toll of grueling diplomacy work

First—a shout out to Tim Daly who was in a serious skiing accident at Park City—Julie notes homage to Tim's legs

First storyline:

Iran/Isreal

Well guess what? A complicated middle east peace plan falls apart over major negotiating points like recognizing Isreal’s right to exist and the acknowledgement of Isreal’s nuclear program.

But I think we really have to note that bess tries HYGGE to seal the peace deal—the Cozy Lifestyle at Camp David! It fails but didn’t you want to cozy up before the fire in your woolen sock, drink glog and forge peace in the Middle East. That doesn’t work, but soccer does!

Second Storyline:

Sexy Magazine photo spread undermines Secretary’s professionalism. And it REALLY BUGS Bess. 

Well, maybe if she stopped wearing black lingerie under white blouses! Good and timely storyline…

Finally, POOR JAY

Touches on the personal lives of the staffers occasionally and I like those storylines. Burn-out is real in DC and it must take a very difficult toll on couples, new parents. Jay’s wife has had it…

Henry’s weird storyline—all I have to say is that Henry gets into a lot of life threateneing situtaions for a theologian. 

Binders full of blouses

Red Puffer Coat

The camel coat

Daisy’s dress
