On Metacritic, the show has a score of 66 out of 100, based on 31 critics, indicating `` generally favorable reviews ''. On Rotten Tomatoes, the show holds a rating of 66 %, based on 50 reviews, with an average rating of 6.9 / 10. The site 's consensus reads, `` Bolstered by Tea Leoni 's strong central performance, Madam Secretary is a solid but unspectacular political drama. '' Criticism Three women have served as Secretary of State to date : Madeleine Albright from 1997 to 2001 under Bill Clinton, Condoleezza Rice from 2005 to 2009 under George W. Bush, and Hillary Clinton from 2009 to 2013 under Barack Obama. Shortly after the series ' debut, Fox News asked if the show therefore served as a campaign ad supporting Hillary Clinton, but quoted the Los Angeles Times saying the lead character was `` no Hillary knockoff '' and a New York publicist calling the casting of a woman `` simple business and smart on CBS ' behalf ''. Conservative activist organization Culture and Media Institute, however, said the connection was clear, citing the women 's blond hair and pantsuits. When the trailer of the fifteenth episode of Season 3 ( Break in Diplomacy ) was released showing McCord punching fictional Philippine president Datu Andrada to the face as a response to the latter making sexual advancements to the protagonist, it became controversial in the Philippines due to what was seen as Andrada having parallelism with real - life President Rodrigo Duterte who was known for making inappropriate and sexist remarks. The Philippine Embassy in Washington even published a statement protesting the negative depiction on its Facebook page. The first episode of the fourth season News Cycle led to a hard protest from East Timor 's Minister of State and Nobel Peace Prize laureate José Ramos - Horta. `` It 's a slander against a country that only shows ignorance and racism, '' he explained. The TV show used the border dispute between Australia and East Timor in the Timor Sea ( The dispute is transferred in the TV show to the South China Sea, although neither Australia nor East Timor is bordering to it ) as background story. East Timor is shown as a country controlled by a Mexican drug cartel and used for drug transfer. US Secretary of State McCord is asking China to take measures to prevent the leader of the drug cartel from making a narco - state out of East Timor.
