The Rusalka
Notes About the Violence
Madam Secretary is one of those shows, which is 95% OK, then it sneaks in a very violent scene. But it fits the mission of this website well, in that we don't feel that just because 5% is violent or graphic, we have to skip the whole show!
General Warning
Once in awhile, in just a few episodes, there are a few scenes that are really out there, so proceed with caution!
