There are very few shows that ooze the aura of intelligence, The Newsroom belongs to that select class. It is a show you can't fault on any count, the retorts are matched by right body language. Calling the acting superlative especially the character of Will McAvoy and his beautiful side kick Mackenzie amounts to mincing words. Not forgetting the tantrums of Charlie Skinner. Aaron Sorkin is a genius. He takes real life scenarios and plots them into a brilliant show.

If you're a fan of The Newsroom, it is only befitting you watch The West Wing. No be hype. grin

Aaron Sorkin genius can be only be matched by that of Vince Giligan's. Both men know how to creat a masterpiece out of real life situations. Calling The Newsroom a "Good show" is an understatement that can be quantified as an insult so grievous that it's practically a taunt. The Newsroom is a modern day MASTERPIECE, the David of Modern day TV shows. Too bad it wrapped up so soon. angry

My statement said "The Silly hyping continues"...I didn't say the series is not worth anybody's time..With the type of hyping some peeps r giving it here,am not even gonna try to near it!!
Re: What Series Are You Watching Now? Part 2 by Nobody: 4:24pm On Feb 17, 2015
Hmmm.. Someone sounds bitter!! grin

"The Newsroom" is not for everyone, Yup. At least, not for people that had taken a serious liking to Teen shows like The 100, Beauty and the Beast, and Vampire Dairies. grin grin Or had referred to "Supernatural" as the greatest horror show ever. shocked grin Or had hyped silly shows like "From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series".grin People like that wouldn't be caught dead watching pure qualities like The Newsroom. They are allergic to Shows that challenge one to actually think. No siree! grin

Ok.

Someone said that the human mind is like an umbrella, it works best when it is open. You are already denying yourself the chance to see if you will enjoy yourself or not based on a bias.... Oh well.

I love all the shows you mentioned and I have watched Sopranos twice and will do a rerun soon.
However, there is no FACT in taste. I will never touch Downtown Abbey with a long pole but I respect the choice of others to hype it but will not accept its quality as fact.

See as person dey miss.

I am sorry but Breaking Bad should not mentioned in the same breath as The Sopranos, it is like comparing a light nap with being in coma. I don't even know how many all nighters I pulled over The Sopranos.

I don't know men,even before people started their hype of BB here,I already knew about the show..Watched the first 3 episodes of season,and it was as boring As hell,I had to leave it for the main time..
Right now,am watching it out of curiosity, to know what all the hype is about..So far,only one scene made Me laugh like hell,and only an Episode(Better Call Saul episode) entertained me a bit..
Am still watching the show cause of Jesse men!!
