Newsroom started its second season last night. I watched the
premiere "First Thing We Do, Let's Kill All the Lawyers" and enjoyed
it. The dialogue especially between the characters was awesome. Sloane and
Charlie, played by Olivia Munn and Sam Waterson respectively, making fun of
each other was great writing. I have never read a review of season Newsroom
before so I was a little surprised to see so many critics have a love-hate
relationship with the show. Many referenced creator Aaron Sorkin's earlier work
including the seminal The West Wing. It's nearly the exact opposite of the
public perception of Newsroom. On IMDB.com the show garnered a 8.5 rating which
is a rather high rating for a show so unloved by alot of critics. To give you a
frame of reference The Incredibles has a 8.0 and The Dark Knight has a 9.0. It
is here that we come to the point where I bring it around to video games.
