What are the best story arcs?
Here is my ranking of the five best story arcs in the entire series:
- Shareef’s assassination, including “The Black Vera Wang” and Agent Donovan storyline.
- Zoey’s kidnapping. Bonus points because Jean-Paul is so punchable.
- “Gaza,” the Camp David peace negotiations, and Leo’s heart attack… might be the best post-Sorkin storyline.
All of the Santos primary/nomination and Santos-Vinnick episodes are basically entire seasons, so much more than discrete story arcs. Honorable mention to the “In the Shadow of Two Gunmen” assassination attempt, but (in my opinion) that storyline is too short to be considered with the other arcs.
That was a lot. I want some pie.
