It plays immaculately. Some of the appreciation for this special can be chalked up to nostalgia – for the show and its idealism about public service; for a simpler, comparatively chaos-free time in American politics – but this “West Wing” special also delivers a patriotic balm with entertaining calls to vote, delivered with clever word play, that substitute for commercials.

What these hypothetical viewers will see is a group of skilled performers telling a reasonably engaging story, and a group of committed citizens speaking to them frankly and with warmth and humor about the reality of this election. But the people who are most likely to watch ... “Hartsfield Landing” is undeniably theatrical, more “Our Town” than “E.R.” It’s not an attempt to make a typical episode of television, and in abandoning such a fruitless pursuit, they create something truly beautiful.

Between those high production values and Whitford’s sober introduction, The West Wing special immediately defused a lot of my cynicism. There’s no doubting how passionate this cast is about performing together. ... It is competence porn. This is what The West Wing has to offer in the moment of Trump: the idea of our big, scary world stewarded by an old man you can trust. It’s not about politics; it’s about having someone to tuck you in at night.
