Political Animals
Available on iTunes
In the miniseries Political Animals, Elaine Barrish (Sigourney Weaver) is a Hillary Clinton-like figure, tapped to be the U.S. Secretary of State after a failed run at the presidency, and the ex-wife of ex-president, Bud Hammond (Ciaran Hinds), a beloved Bill Clinton-ish horndog. Elaine and Bud are the parents of glossy John Kennedy-esque Douglas Hammond (James Wolk) and troubled T.J. (Sebastian Stan), who's openly gay, but secretly addicted to cocaine. Elaine weathers the ups and downs of her sons and the pecadilloes of her ex-husband, with whom she's still in love, while dealing with the complicated demands of her high-pressure job, and the scrutiny of reporter Susan Berg (Carla Gugino), a former enemy turned ally.
