Madam Secretary has been running stories that are great topics.

Two include the problems created by climate change, such as rising sea level and displacement of people in low areas, including refugee crises. Another included the problem of pandemics that could be avoided if people in developed nations followed recommended vaccination schedules instead of believing in anti-science garbage. Good subjects, deftly handled.

This season has been a bit meh for me but I do like it a lot. I miss Nadine and Dmitri.

The last two episodes were quite good though and I loved how they addressed climate change and the danger of losing herd immunity. I appreciated that it ended up being a privileged first world person that caused the outbreak and not a refugee.

I hope Madam Secretary continues to present current topics like climate change. I especially would like to see Tea Leone play president of the US. Wouldn't that be something?
