It’s amazing to watch Alan Cumming, as political guru Eli Gold, inhabit that role so authoritatively, knowing that at the same time, he’s now starring on Broadway as the decadent emcee in Cabaret. Also amazing: watching Michael J. Fox, returning as canny lawyer Louis Canning, imbue his character with wit and even sympathy, despite Machiavellian moves that get more sinister in every episode.
