TV Newsroom

The pirate bay is your friend

Definitely going to be my new show to watch, jumping into first place ahead of many other programmes, mainly because Aaron Sorkin is all kinds of genius. And HBO are far and away the best network in the States when it comes to original programming. TPB will be visited tomorrow.....

This paragraph alone makes me love you!

You wont regret it mate, he's at his best thats for sure.

Downloading the first episodes as I type this. Cannot wait to check this out.

This is brilliant. I love Aaron Sorkin.

Thinking about giving this a go, since all my other shows are on a break or finished, Hadn't heard of it until this thread cause I don't watch actual tv.

Glad you like mate, he really is one hell of a writer.

Also the first thing i ever learnt in my screenwriting class was that good writing means the viewer will relate with a character on the screen even though their and your situations a totally different. Aaron has done this perfectly as you find yourself relating to characters in different ways.

It's just bloody brillant TV.

What a first episode. I'll be watching this from now on.

Just watched the 2nd episode - I love this show, it's amazing.

Just downloaded yesterday's episode (#4), gonna check it out. So far it has been head and shoulders above anything I've seen in recent times bar maybe Boardwalk Empire....which is also HBO.

This show is f**king epic. Unbe-f**king-lieavable.

My download was phony and i can't download again tonight as i'm away from home my life sucks so much right now

But at least you have something to look forward to...I now have to wait until next Monday/ Tuesday for my next fix...

This is true, i'm downloading the hell out of this later.

Did you ever watch Sorkin's studio 60? Bet you did didn't you. I might watch that over again in the mean time.

100% need to see this, looks to be good!

Nope, always meant to but never got round to it so am downloading it now.

You'll see a couple of similarities but i'd say so far newsroom is already a more intelligent show, but that doesn't mean studio 60 isn't fantastic, it is one of my favourite TV shows ever. A shame it got cut really but you'll see the reasoning why as it was very critical of TV networks throughout. Also you had 30 rock come out at the same time which was vaguely about the same subject and apparently there wasn't room for both.

Also Matt Perry gets a massive special mention for being the actor out of friends to actually do something decent and shake off his friends character. He's fantastic, enjoy it mate.

Just saw this post. I'm the same buddy. I don't watch tv in itself unless it's for sports, plus French tv is a bit shite apart from a couple of decent quiz shows. For the tv shows worth watching I heed the advice of my friends back home or the good posters on here.

I shall let you know what I think.

About to start watching this (gotta love Sky Go).
Better be good you guys!
