Trudeau and his team continue to deliver a show that, while perhaps not the out-and-out smartest scripted inside-the-Beltway series around, qualifies at the very least for the runoff.
The show is packed with potential: a talented cast augmented by a deep bench of guest stars, a creator--“Doonesbury” author Garry Trudeau--well versed in political satire, and no shortage of material begging to be plucked from the real world. Despite all this, Alpha House still manages to fall flat.
