What is spin city?
Mayor Winston is in a league of his own, when it
comes to political crisis, witch sets Mikes ability as a “spin doctor” on some
difficult tests. While Mike is excellent at his job, dealing with spin and lies,
his personal life often spins completely out of control, witch contribute to a
lot of entertaining conflicts.
With a staff of wildly diverse characters
consisting of a neurotic press secretary Paul Lassiter (Richard Kind), a black
gay activist Carter Heywood (Michael Boatman), who is in charge of minority
affairs, a chauvinist chief of staff Stuart Bondek (Alan Ruck), a highly
efficient accountant Nikki Faber(Connie Britton), an idealistic speechwriter
James Hobert (Alexander Chaplin), an intrepid Mayor's assistant Stacy Paterno
(Jennifer Esposito), and last but not least a flawless elegant election campaign
manager Caitlin Moore (Heather Locklear), it's hard to believe anything gets.
The series aired in six successful seasons from 1996 to 2002, but after four
wonderful years with Michael J. Fox in the role as deputy mayor Mike Flaherty,
Charlie Sheen came to his rescue and became the new Deputy Mayer Charlie
Crawford. But even without Michael, the series keep delivering top entertaining.
Important for the series, is the satiric tone with a lot of sarcasm, almost
mocking politics by being totally incorrect, but still keep crisp and new.
If you haven’t watched spin city yet, you don’t know what you are missing.
