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. Read full review

Although topicality trips up some of the jokes, others are spot-on. Read full review

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. Read full review

It's a cute comedy that takes a look at lives of politicians in Washington D.C. and the people around them. I also like the lesbian scenes that's sprinkled in, since it represents lesbianism in a true light.

Very enjoyable and entertaining season which just got better by the end of it. Some over the top acting and plot lines here and there, but nothing major. Loved that they focused on the stories of the aides, family members as well.

Unlike Season 1, when the comedy flowed naturally from the situations, Trudeau and Co. stoop to cheap shots against the right just so they can shoehorn in some of the left's talking points.

Mentioning global warming for no reason other than to point out global warming, was not entertaining. Taking the "right to carry" thing to an extreme was VERY funny because it flowed naturally from the character the writers created.

This show works best when the characters expose the reality of Washington's "deadlock culture." They forgot that in Season 2.

Most of those in politics find what goes on under that dome to be absurd. The absurdity cuts both ways but Trudeau, who did such a masterful job of skewering both parties in Season 1, now only plays the conservatives for laughs and the overall experience suffers for it.… Expand
