CoolioD1 Posted April 16, 2013 Author Share Posted April 16, 2013 I've watched about four episodes of this and it is excellent. LOL. Of course you'd love it. I can't remember. Was that awful Coldplay bit in the first four episodes? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Nevada Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 LOL. Of course you'd love it. How come? Is it like universally hated or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted April 16, 2013 Author Share Posted April 16, 2013 How come? Is it like universally hated or something? Maybe not universally, but it's seen as pretty bad mostly. It's basically just an excuse for Sorkin to rant about how recent news should have been handled with pretty lame storylines outside the newsrooms. Plus all the female characters are written way dumber than the men tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Gary Scott Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 How come? Is it like universally hated or something?It's one of my fav shows I don't get the hate it gets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bed005 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Some of the love triangles got a little tedious near the end of last season, but I'm still looking forward to the start of season 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cedarpoint1111 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 (edited) I liked season one and I'm looking forward to the season two premiere. Edited April 17, 2013 by CEDAR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wadey Wilsoney Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Currently one of my favorite shows, and Jeff Daniels' best serious role by far.Could do with less love triangles though. They do nothing for me other than saying "bathroom break". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cozmeesah Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Yeah, the corny love triangles are easily the worst part. But the news stuff is fantastic. Jeff is wonderful.A lot of people like to criticize how it's pretentious and easy for them to say well after the fact how things should have been handled in certain situations. I think that's the point. But CNN would've been good to take a lesson from the Gabby Giffords episode today, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobinHood26 Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 We are getting close to the new season, anyone else getting excited!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4815162342 Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 I just wonder if they're going to show the GOP primaries at all or if they're going to skip straight to the general election. I hope we see at least some of the primaries since there's some great gold there for Will and the gang to lampoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cedarpoint1111 Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 I am looking forward to this. I absolutely love when a news story breaks on this show. The way it's handled is amazing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
