‘Madam Secretary’ season 2 spoilers: The struggle ahead for Elizabeth McCord

Through the first season of “Madam Secretary,” we saw much of the struggle for Elizabeth McCord as she tried to prepare for her new role of Secretary of State. This is not a role that she had held before, and there were so many different issues that she had to confront here when it comes to dealing with so many people and having her family in the spotlight.

Now, moving into the second season she has to prepare for problems to hit her hard. She started off so strong that sooner or later, there would be a struggle. This is something that executive producer Barbara Hall had to say to TV Guide:

“The first year, she had a lot of wins … Once you get too successful, people arrive to sort of tear that down a little, and she’s going to have to confront that.”

Do we think that Elizabeth is going to be able to make it through all of this? Probably, if for no other reason than that we cannot imagine the show without her. There are obviously going to be international influences that start to weigh on her, and given everything happening right now when it comes to current events, there is plenty of material for the producers to mine.

Now, let’s turn to the personal side of things. Will the pressures of being in the public eye start to really weigh on the family? We have to believe that this will happen more now, thanks largely to the fact that they will be spending more time around the President.
