如果你正在犹豫要不要看，我可以告诉你：《白宫风云》第三季依然保持着该剧招牌式的“走路说话”风格——镜头跟着幕僚们在走廊里疾走，台词像机关枪一样密集，但每一句都踩在政策辩论或人性博弈的节点上。适合喜欢《纸牌屋》但嫌它太阴郁的观众，也适合那些对“西装革履的工作日常”如何拍出热血感感到好奇的人。这一季适合那些对政治游戏不抱幻想、却依然好奇好人如何在不干净的环境里保持体面的观众，也适合所有沉迷于“聪明人互相拆招”这类高浓度对话的剧迷。马丁·辛演的巴特勒总统，一个眼神就能从疲惫切换到坚定，而罗伯·劳扮演的山姆总是不合时宜地讲出大实话，这种理想主义在现实夹缝里打滚的感觉，特别戳人。看完会有种说不出的堵心，但就是放不下。这一季恰好赶上现实中的9·11事件，剧集没有回避当时的迷茫和愤怒，而是让马丁·辛饰演的巴特勒总统在危机中既示弱又强硬，那种疲惫感比任何慷慨陈词都真实。
Season 3: 2001–2002
Cast: Rob Lowe, Stockard Channing, Dulé Hill, Allison Janney, Janel Moloney, Richard Schiff, John Spencer, Bradley Whitford and Martin Sheen
The third season, which covers the administration's third and fourth years in office, starts off with Bartlet announcing his intention to run for reelection and is heavily devoted to the upcoming presidential election. Other prominent plotlines include Congressional investigations into whether Bartlet committed electoral fraud by concealing his MS, a death threat against C.J. and the ensuing relationship she develops with a Secret Service agent assigned to her, the Qumari defense minister Abdul Shareef plotting terrorist attacks against the US, and a troubling meeting between Toby and the President that leaves Bartlet with a bout of insomnia in "Night Five." The season finale, "Posse Comitatus" closes several of these storylines as Bartlet meets his opponent in the elections and reaffirms his commitment to beat him. The episode ends with the president finally deciding to order Shareef's assassination (a legally questionable act) and C.J.'s agent's murder, just after the man threatening C.J. was caught.
From a critical perspective, series creator Aaron Sorkin acknowledged in October 2002 that the terrorism-related plots designed to keep the series relevant after the real-life 9/11 attacks were awkward at times, saying "from week to week, you felt like you were writing the show handcuffed, a little bit. I didn't know how to write it anymore. It was a constant search for what I wasn't doing that used to make the show work. [...] Maybe there was a way to make it work; there probably was. I wasn't able to find it in twenty-two episodes." [1] Nonetheless, the show went on to win its third "Outstanding Drama" Emmy in a row.
