Summary: This is an absolutely wonderful fanedit. Highly recommended for West Wing fans or lovers of political drama. Technical: The editing here is solid all the way through. If I hadnât read the cutlist after I would have never known how many episodes were combined. Hell I had to read Wikipedia to really understand how much work was done. This edit flows so smoothly one scene to the next. Bravo. Commercial break transitions were handled nicely; I didnât notice any on-screen credits or zoomed shots to remove them. DVD quality was good, matched the source quality. I had small nitpicks with some of the audio editing. They were really minor so Iâm not going to waste time talking about them. You may or may not notice; they may or may not bother you; your mileage may vary. Storytelling: The narrative structure is the strongest part of this edit. I have never watched a single episode of The West Wing but Iâd always wanted to check it out. (And yes I purchased the source material.) You can go in completely blind deaf and dumb and still be able to follow everything. I connected to the characters and once the plot kicked into high gear I was glued to my screen. The three act structure is done very well and this feels like something that was intended as a theatrical movie. And this show is really good. They werenât kidding when they said they had great writers. Powerhouse storytelling, acting, everything.
