Featuring this kind of events suggests "Madam Secretary's" ability to come with episodes that focus on different problems, in addition to the series' core drama element, according to Entertainment Weekly. Episode 17 for instance is focusing mainly on societal issues. This change of focus stimulates the viewers' minds and helps them to relax at the same time. It is an approach that allows the audiences to think outside a particular theme of the "Madam Secretary" TV series' story line.

The publication explains that Madam Secretary's position comes with a need to have political game abilities. This involves Elizabeth's knowledge about the things to say and the right moment to say them.
