Commander in Chief (Season 1)

Commander in Chief (2005) is a political drama series you can watch online on iFILM. Mackenzie Allen (Geena Davis) was a compromise pick for vice president — palatable to both parties, expected to hold a symbolic post. Then the sitting president dies, and she is sworn in as the first woman to hold the office.

Almost no one wanted that outcome. The dying president asked her to step aside. Her own party wants her out. House Speaker Nathan Templeton (Donald Sutherland) is waiting for her to stumble. At home, a husband who wants a hand in policy and two teenagers adjusting to life inside a security perimeter.

Geena Davis took home the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Drama Series for this role in 2006. Creator Rod Lurie built the show around a deceptively simple premise: watch a capable woman work inside a system that was never designed to include her.
