Movie #859 "The Newsroom" is an unbelievably well-written and quick-paced t.v. show that has been on HBO, but ,of course, we couldn't see it until we received Season 1 as a gift from one of our alums (thanks, Heather!) because we don't get HBO. Anyway, what a gem we have been missing, and we can't wait until Season 2 comes out. We binge-watched this week Season 1 and loved it. There wasn't one episode we didn't like in this wonderful expose of what goes on in a newsroom. However, we weren't surprised we loved this show due to the expert writing, the quick pace, the subject matter, the cast, and of course the quality of the show. It has been criticized for taking real stories in the news and putting them under scrutiny, but that's one of the things we really enjoy about the show. It has just been announced that the third and final season will start soon and air in the fall -- and though we are sorry it will end, we realize good writing like this can last just so long. So we'll be happy to get to watch season 2 (if anyone owns it, we'd love to borrow it) and look forward to seeing Season 3. We highly recommend it!
The Newsroom2012TV-MA5 discs I give this 5 stars out of 5.
Aaron Sorkin created this HBO drama, which centers on a cable news channel trying to return credibility to journalism despite plenty of resistance. Jeff Daniels stars as the ambitious anchor of a nightly news show, and Sam Waterston plays his boss.
