The slightly dour tone is a nice break from season one's inspirational cheerleading and manic rushing-about.July 12, 2013
Few TV dramas are as thought-provoking or daringly opinionated.October 12, 2013
Sorkin has blessedly toned down and cooled the quip-filled "His Girl Friday" banter enough to inject the show with a healthy dose of realism.July 22, 2013
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.July 16, 2013
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.March 28, 2014
How a man can simultaneously be so out of touch and yet have his finger so firmly on the pulse is remarkable.July 11, 2013
Give this excellent and improved show another chance.July 22, 2013
Much like its emotional rollercoaster of a lead character, it can be exhausting. And exhilarating. And then exhausting again.November 29, 2013
Finding its feet thanks to a compelling ongoing storyline, the second season of Aaron Sorkin's politically-charged HBO drama is an improvement over the first.July 12, 2013
The Newsroom can be exciting in small doses, but when the tone is always at a peak, the peaks just make a new floor.
