Holy Shit, does anyone watch this regulary? How is it as a series?

i've only seen the first three episodes, but it seemed pretty good for a tv drama. strong writing but i tire of the wit overload those kinds of shows provide.

Truthfully, I'm not a big fan of the show. It's one of those "Too smart for it's own good" type of deals. Like all of Sorkin's work. That's not to say it's not good. It is, and I love Sorkin's work...just haven't gotten into the show overall.
That said, when I saw this clip last week, it hit hard and is, in fact, pure truth that I think all Americans need to hear.
*Edit*...watch that clip again...and keep in mind that it's Harry from Dumb and Dumber preaching. That makes it 189% more awesome.

Oh god, that has to be the most Aaron Sorkin-y 3 minutes of all time. When I agree with his opinions I love his stuff, but when I don't...yeesh.

I wish they'd tone down the relationship drama that has a bad habit of taking over episodes. Less Maggie and Jim "will-they-won't-they", more Sam Waterston.

I think more TV shows should follow those 3 words.

It's a great show. I'm a huge Sorkin fan.

I LOVE this show. The video you posted was fantastic, but this one is my personal favourite.
Also forgot these as well, just amazing.

I love The Newsroom. Great writing from Sorkin, and the cast is amazing. I like how they use real events from the last couple of years. I'm really looking forward to season two.

I really enjoy the show, even though my political knowledge is basically nothing. The show is driven by the really interesting characters, and it keeps me wanting to see the next episode.
I tried the pilot out of boredom, and if it wasn't for that first video clip airing in the episode, I wouldn't be watching today. Hard not to get dragged in when there's a speech like that.
