Something next to normal, that's the thing I'd like to try

I've never seen The West Wing. Is it a deeply political/preachy show? I'm only curious because I've been thinking of Netflixing the show, but I have a feeling it's not up my alley. I'm a pretty apolitical person, and usually get a little sick to my stomach when a show or movie tries to ram a bunch of political punditry down my gullet, be they of either the "Red" or the "Blue" variety. I understand that some people like political messages in their entertainment, but its always been the sort of thing that turns me off.
