Reviews

cathylr As an addict to the news, I watched the first season with a great pleasure. However, as the criticts became a bit too demanding for season 2, Aaron Sorkin took a complete different turn, which I appreciated but did not quite expect. For season 3, he tried to finish the show in a proper way but was still under the pressure of the critics. So, overall, it seems to me that only season one reflect what the point of the series was: showing how hard the constant reporting of the news can be as it is always about reporting the information first, whichever the sources may be.
ramdi It opens in a way that shocks you and it closes in a way that leaves you inspired. It is amazing to me how relevant this show is. It is captivating. Riveting. I usually can't stand shows that involve so much of the characters personal life and but Newsroom manages to keep the pace up so there is no dull moment and make it also relevant to the story. Tackle new media, technology and the changing social currents and manage to make you come out thinking there is still hope! Telling such a compelling story I binge-watched it by seasons... Having a strong emotionally moving moment almost every episode. Watching this in 2018 for the first time it feels so relevant! WOW This is The Shawshank redemption of the TV series Great talented writing. Loved the performances. Very believable and immersing.
lukeshulver The Newsroom presents an absolutely idealistic view on journalism and the ever present struggle for integrity and honesty in a corporate sponsorship and politically aligned multimedia conglomerate world. The opening episode with the tirade of truth on why America is no longer the greatest country in the world sets the standard for the entire show and rivals one of the best scenes in TV history - however the rest of the show and seasons falls sadly short of that incredible piece of TV. Having said that it still dares to break ground and waggle its finger at its corporate owners and the masses who hunger and thirst for celebrity scandal over balanced and informed news which effect their lives and will shape the world for their children. Its not The West Wing, but anything Aaron Sorkin produces or writes will always be on the top of my must watch list of TV. Excellent viewing.
Alejandro Hernandez This is why a say Aaron Sorkin is one of the best writers on TV. This Shows not only is very entertaining but so damn well written, it will move you on so many ways. also teach or remembers people how to be a better human being. the how will stick on you for long time, I aw it and I am on my second run and still loving it.
