The Newsroom - Season 2

Few TV dramas are as thought-provoking or daringly opinionated.

The Newsroom is a series that will always contain both very good and not so good Sorkinisms. You'll just have to adjust your expectations and live with it - and no doubt talk about it endlessly.

Give this excellent and improved show another chance.

How a man can simultaneously be so out of touch and yet have his finger so firmly on the pulse is remarkable.

I'd like to hope that we won't get as much romance sub-plot as last year, but I fear that won't be the case. Instead I'll just have to hope that the good stuff outweighs the bad.
