What Parents Need to Know
About Commander in Chief
Parents need to know that the show features content that focuses on gender and politics. There is very little to object to other than comments made by Mac's adversary, who in the first episode jokes about human rights, a woman's ability to hold higher office, and menopause. One major plotline features a Nigerian woman threatened with violent death for having a child out of wedlock. A scene depicting her rescue that begins in a Nigerian prison is a little disturbing.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the idea of having a woman president in office. Do you think a female president could perform as well or better than a male president could? Parents might also want to discuss the inner workings of the U.S. government. How do personal beliefs play a role in making political decisions?

Better than west wing...
This show is engaging and interesting. I find some of the most interesting aspects in the handling of gender and family roles. Even as president, Mac has to also be a mom and deal with the real life drama of a rebellious teen daughter. And the first gentleman struggles and learns how important women are in the power establishment. This is a great show for teens to talk about politics, power, and gender.
