With the especially poignant propaganda coming out nowadays I'm thinking of watching The West Wing. Is the show actually good or just pure cringe?

So I personally enjoy Aaron Sorkin writing, it's not realistic and everyone is too clever and knows every single reference ever made. And conflicts are usually resolved with the Bad Person saying Something Stupid that can easily be turned against them, and losing a debate forces you to concede to other side.
I couldn't rewatch it after I became more leftist and listened to the CTH episode on it. "GOD I INCREASED THE GDP, WHAT MORE COULD YOU WANT FROM ME?" But that was mostly because of the politics, I still generally like the characters and writing. So it's probably not worth it.
