HBO's new drama

from their site:

From the mind of Aaron Sorkin, creator of The West Wing and screenwriter of The Social Network and Moneyball, comes The Newsroom, a behind-the-scenes look at the people who make a nightly cable-news program. Focusing on anetwork anchor (played by Jeff Daniels), his new executive producer (Emily Mortimer), the newsroom staff (John Gallagher, Jr., Alison Pill, Thomas Sadoski, Olivia Munn, Dev Patel) and their boss (Sam Waterston), the series tracks their quixotic mission to do the news well in the face of corporate and commercial obstacles-not to mention their own personal entanglements.

I loved it. It wreaked of Sorkin, of course. Jeff Daniels' has this amazing monologue (read: rant) not two minutes. And the class walk and talks. Reviews were "okay", but everyone seems sure it'll be picked up for a second season.
 
I thought it was ok, but I haven't really decided whether or not I'm going to make this a regular viewing. I loved the speech in the beginning, people need to hear that shit.


And of course the media is going to hate it. The very purpose of the show is to criticize exactly how horrible the media has become.
 
i'm kind of interested in watching this, going to give the first episode a shot tomorrow. I really like how the critics are shitting on this show but the actual viewers are loving it.
 
Great show so far. I love the writing and how it is sticking it to our media. If only they would get the message instead of hating it.
 
I'm really digging this show too, I hope it gets picked up for another season. I don't really get into alot of HBO series, but this one has definitely captured my attention.

I am such a fanboy. I need a sandwich board. Yet I never got into GoT or The Sopranos.

Huh.

It got pretty intense for me during the Congresswoman Giffords story. And Leona = Jane Fonda? Gnarly.

And are Maggie's eyes oddly set or am I just cunty?
 
Big thumbs up for this show. I wish they werent so obvious about their political lean, but some of the stuff is just too hard to avoid. LOL

Some excellent scene's....The one with Will interviewing the black/gay campiagn manager for Rick Santorium was just incredible....Great comedy as well....same episode in the Airplane....

Must watch!
 
For Noobs to the show

i cannot for the life of me stand the character of maggie and to a lesser degree mackenzie. it's like sorkin is going 'ho ho these wimmenfolk, look how fickle they are'. fucking horrible, and that scene where the boutique got vandalized and jeff daniels just mysteriously appeared out of nowhere was simply really hackneyed writing.
 
Just getting into it, great first episode and then second was okay.

I hope that they challenge many political issues which I think is where this show is directed.
 
Im really surprised how, not bad actually almost good, Olivia Munn is in this...I sometimes forget its her....although the comedy brings out the old her...

My only disappointment is her lack of showing boobies. ;)

If Olivia Munn's boobies are what you crave, you should watch Magic Mike.

Or better yet, just Google the photos so you don't have to sit through two hours of white dudes ripping their shirts off.
