"The Newsroom is a romantic, idealistic and swashbuckling look at a fictional cable news show." - series creator Aaron Sorkin
The minute I saw the trailer for Aaron Sorkin’s latest gem, I was hooked. Heck, the minute I heard Sorkin’s name, I was hooked. The genius of The Social Network and The West Wing was taking his talents to cable TV to write a show about the inner workings of a cable news show.

Then I watched the opening minutes and opening monologue
from Will McAvoy (Jeff Daniels). It was ballsy, in your face and spoke to a lot
of truth about how America has fallen from grace.
Three episodes in, I’m seeing why I was hooked from the
jump. "The Newsroom" is smart and ambitious. It shines a light on the media and aims to
raise the standard of journalism. You feel like you’re watching an actual cable
network instead of a show about one.
