"The Newsroom" debuts tonight on HBO...Official thread

Will isn't the know-it-all he was in Season 1, but the season 2 premiere has most of the same faults as Season 1, for better or (mostly) worse.

All of the relationship shyt is so horrible.

Sorkin's gon Sorkin. I'm watching this till the end.

Agreed. I think it's funny when people say they don't like the show because the dialogue is unrealistic, but they'll watch something like The Walking Dead when the whole premise is unrealistic.

People watch The Walking Dead to see zombies kill people and zombies get killed. People watch Sorkin shows for the dialogue.

HBO got some weird power over me

I liked the first season...first ep was nothing special, but did set the stage for some storylines at least. I don't mind the dialogue but the best moments are always how these guys get news and report it...last night there was too little of that for me. Putting together a discussion panel just isn't as hype as them getting alerts and trying to get the story perfect.

I'm fukking with this shyt heavy. I almost feel alot of people are reading into the fact that Sorkin is behind this and not seeing the show for itself.

If this exact show was written by someone completely unknown the reception to it would be so much different. The season definitely started quite strongly with some potential to open up in the forthcoming weeks.

Olivia Munn in this shyt is something serious though brehs

 

[HHR]

The relationship shyt is awful...and the post-hoc view on major world events is problematic...

...but when this show is great, it's REALLY great. I love 75% of the show as much as anything else on TV. Wish the other 25% wasn't so shytty

 

[Real]

Man why are yall still watching this bullshyt?

 

[Swiggy]

Needs more nikkas

But It's still piff
