Boy, some people did not like this show.
Someone here said the first five minutes of the pilot were fabulous (I'm paraphrasing) and then it was downhill from there.
This is what makes the world go round. In the beginning, I found "Newsroom" too chaotic. I wasn't connecting with the characters and it was all too much.
Then I really got into it, and I found it fantastic. I loved the acting and the characters, and I don't understand why it went off the air.
I also loved the witty dialogue, and I liked the fact that it showed the interpersonal relationships within the newsroom as well as out. The whole Genoa thing was particularly chilling, when you absolutely know what's going on - fascinating to watch.
This is an Aaron Sorkin show, along the lines of The West Wing. And what actors - Sam Waterston, Jane Fonda, Jeff Daniels, Emily Mortimer, Allison Pill, Marcia Gay Harden, everyone top-notch. Even though I haven't been the age of most of the newsroom characters for many many years, I could still appreciate their lives and what they went through.
How bad can something with Sam Waterston in it be, I ask myself. Certainly worth checking out.
