The Newsroom (2012–2014)
8/10
Great Show Beware of Extreme Political Bias
8 December 2015
I'm going to give it an Eight, and I know someone somewhere is going to roll their eyes when they see this review, but, at its best is just my opinion, and at its worst, a bad one. This show has some of the best dialogue of any show I've ever watched, if not the best, and it has an ability to make a scene that many of us will never take part in (a newsroom) and make it come alive. You feel like you've done it before and you can't help but wake up in the morning wanting to do it again. It is so witty and so fast paced you're left waiting for the next social media esque quote you can post. I give them nothing but praise on a quality level, all the way around. I, however, had to stop watching when it become extremely clear this was another show trying to show how dumb republicans are and how the voters should be informed of their ignorance. In a show about media it, in my opinion, demonstrated exactly what's wrong with the media. It showed no mercy in showing its bias and who they they supported and why they felt that way. Like any other private business though, I said, "I respect your opinion but I will choose not to do business with you." However, if this show had been for "my team" I probably would have enjoyed it to no end. I simply could not stand behind the views of the writer. If you think along the same lines as him, hold on, 'cause it's going to be one hell of a show!
