HBO's The Newsroom...yay or nay?

• SportsAndLady

  

  Tonight was the first episode I've watched from beginning to end, and I really enjoyed it. But i've seen scenes from previous episodes so far this season and it seems like it's been hit or miss for me.
  
  Like or hate?

  I really like it. Also, Olivia munn is delightful

  Great show. Next week should be a great one. I have really enjoyed every episode so far.

  I've loved it so far. I'm guessing the next one is about Bin Laden?

  I haven't seen it but have heard that it borders on revisionist history. Is it true that it is basically a show about semi-recent current events that are reported on with a liberal bias that the MSM missed out on when the events actually happened?

  Yep.

  Yay, then, nay, then last night yay.
  
  The first episode was awesome. The opening rant was epic, and it had a solid start.
  Then, it fell off the wagon. The dialogue, I know typical Sorkin, became too much. The women characters were idiots, and the liberals bias was getting over the top.
  
  That said, last nights was really solid, and perhaps a telling of things to come.
  I also hate how it is looking at hindsight. I hope they can get to the present soon, instead of having the benefit of history as a plot crutch.

  Yeah, it gets a little over the top most of the time.
  The Egypt episode had some factual errors as some friends who are actually there pointed out to me the other day lol.

  Great acting and writing, I've enjoyed it thus far. If you're a Republican, specifically one that identifies with the Tea Party, you're going to absolutely hate it though.

  I enjoy it. I love how they keep throwing out that Will is a registered Republican as if that will throw the liberal bias of the show back to neutral. lol, I don't care though. Its a good show.

  I like it.

  So far it's been great, next week looks really good. Sam Waterston is awesome.

  As a big republican I'll admit The West Wing was still my favorite TV drama of all time and Sorkin's writing is just awesome. I'll have to download this online

  Watched the first three episodes last night and thought it was pretty good, will most likely catch up on the others tonight. HBO does a good job on their shows, the only station that has shows I watch on a regular basis. Really looking forward to Boardwalk Empire starting back up.

  What'd everyone think of the Bin Laden episode?
  
  I thought it was fantastic
• Tiger2003

  

  Great show tonight. Had tears in my eyes for most of the show.

  I thought it was good...especially the part with Jeff Daniels being high as fuck. I thought it went a little corny towards the end where they were letting the cops and former military know what happened.

  Season finale was last night. I liked the season. I don't see it lasting much more than another season though.
