Aaron Sorkin once chronicled the daily work of the federal government in "The West Wing." In "The Newsroom," the Emmy-winning executive producer uses the operation of a fictional cable news network as the heart of the story, with Jeff Daniels portraying the network's lead anchor and leading an ensemble cast. Episodes are written around actual recent news events, reported by a staff that takes its collective responsibilities seriously, but corporate and commercial obstacles -- plus entangled personal relationships -- fly in the face of their public mission.

Iván P Buen cierre de una serie que entretiene y te hace amar a sus personajes Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/30/24 Full Review Hemant S One from the older school of drama series akin to "The Wire", "The Sopranos", "Mad Men" but in a different theme. Penned by the critically acclaimed Aaron Sorkin, the plot revolves around the lead newsman of the daily news section of a media giant, and the travails he and his team go through as they strive to "fight for civility" and the integrity of journalism. The 3 season series is flagged by the various real life events that occurred through the actual telecast years and some from the past. This series is particularly relevant and tries hard to open eyes to the commercial toxicity that has seeped in to journalism, with money driving the news instead of vice versa and the birth of fake news as a consequence; in a day and age when it takes a hell lot to actually believe what's written and broadcast on TV and social media. A lot of the content revolves around American politics, and while the fast paced dialogue delivery can seem dry and impressive in the same moment, "The Newsroom" delivers well on striking a tricky balance between drama and realist television. Jeff Daniels stands out in his performance as the lead, even in his moments of blank stares that depict the conundrums his character is going through. The rest of the ensemble deliver well in the background, particularly Dev Patel as the passionately principled digital geek in the team. Definitely worth a binge. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Excellent script, excellent casting!! Accurate, erudite, witty!! I’m sad to see it is no longer running. Our society needs this program. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Why O why did this end?! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member This is the end for the show with a smaller season. There is bit of cheesiness due to the all ends covered among all the characters, but succeeds in being a great show all the way through. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the best shows ever Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
