For even the most die-hard fans of The West Wing, the last three seasons of the show, which you can watch with an HBO Max subscription, are often criticized, or at least, not as beloved as the first four. That change was marked by the departure of the show’s creator and almost exclusive script writer, Aaron Sorkin, who left the show after the dramatic Season 4 finale.
There is one episode in Season 7 that is every bit as good as the dialogue from episodes Sorkin was responsible for. It happened as a direct result of the death of John Spencer, the actor who played Leo McGarry.
