Like a few other people I know, I’ve been slowly ready Hillary Clinton’s What Happened? (by slow, I mean about a chapter a week) and finding it to be good but difficult reading. Most of what I’ve read so far has been Hillary alternating between wondering if she’s responsible for every problem short of actually giving birth to Trump (an exaggeration, I admit) and talk about Thanksgiving and gushing over grandbabies.

But I’ve always found it interesting that she likes Madam Secretary and The Good Wife. Both shows largely exist because of her, something I’m sure she’s aware of but-as far as I know-has never talked about, but they can also both be seen as criticizing her marriage. The Good Wife even built some of its early buzz as being inspired by wondering what Hillary Clinton and others whose husbands have had highly publicized cheating scandals are thinking when they say stay with their husbands.

I don’t have anything deep or interesting to say about that, it’s just something I think about any time I see the fact that she likes the shows brought up.

ETA: As I was reminded in comments...I wonder if she knew about/what she thought about Political Animals, which didn't even bother to mask anything in making it clearly be about her.

Now I kinda wonder if she's seen Political Animals.

IKR? I mean, it was the most blatantly obvious one. But it was so short lived.

I was quite sad that it didn't get renewed. :/

Imagine knowing that there's an AU story of your life in which you're played by Sigourney Weaver.

(Sorry for the double-posting. >.<)

I believe she's also a fan of Parks & Rec, which was also strongly inspired by her but is way less critical.
