The suspension of disbelief is necessary to enjoy any work of fiction. In this case, the instances in which it was necessary to suspend incredulity were way too many. the rape victim is an antisemite, at the very least a rabid antizionist, trying to emerge in N-Y politics? A closet lesbian who goes to a fashionable lesbian bar? My point is that when US TV writers go into politics they simply don't get it; too often the characters are completely improbable, unrealistic.
