Political Animals - Season 1
The series explores the complex world of politics through a former first family. It is 'very much about all families who have been in the White House, the price they've paid for being there and the fact that those same families will often try or continue to try to get back into the White House again'.

It would have been better served by focusing on the first word in its title, not the second.

Political Animals, does not...commit the cardinal sin of being boring. Its big pile of over-the-top twists, turns and excesses can be mmm mmm delish.
