  i love both aaron sorkin + hbo, so this looks like it will win my attention. hbo seems to be making some better decisions on shows after a couple flops ("hung," "how to make it in america").

  I'll watch it if it's half as good as the CBC show of the same name from the 90s:

  aaron sorkin...

  this means that half way through the first season he'll use the show to get on his soap box.

  His shows have a tendency to be the same. Ensemble cast, stories wound up in an environment where there is usually some sort of tight deadline. Granted I've enjoyed this in the past (west wing excluded, haven't seen that) but I'm not sure how much of that sort of thing I actually want to watch in a lifetime.

  • Also - haven't seen a damn thing about the show - i can't watch the trailer from the train. so i may be really off base.– jtb261/5

    "he'll use the show to get on his soap box." You mean...a writer will use his work to express an opinion? The gall...– futuremongolian2/5

    west wing is his best, you should get on that.– colin_s3/5

    So it's not JUST that he gets on a soap box. It's how obvious and preachy it is. I usually agree with it - but it's not what I want from a show.– jtb264/5

    want out of my entertainment. I'll watch Jon Stewart for that thank you very much.– jtb265/5

  Watched the first episode last night. Didn't hate it. Anyone else catch this? what are your thoughts? I think its a good show, although it seems like its trying a bit too hard. Not sure if it will make it tho...All the reviews I've read have been pretty negative.

  The part I really loved was his rant about the US not being the best country in the world. I really despise American arrogance.

  • but it didn't make me want to follow the show. It also looks like it's going to lean to heavy on love interests.– CyBrainX

  I watched this because of that rant about America in the trailer, but it's not about that.

  I thought it was really good. Excellent pacing, loved the way it unfolded.

  • well 'that' does set the premise– Stugoo

  only seen the first 3 episodes... worth it to keep going? Felt Sorkins dialogue had no breathing space, 50mins of non-stop chatting.

  • It's not the most realistic dialogue, but def. worth watching. Not much competition on TV right now.– fredddddd

  For all their pretentions about journalistic integrity, they seem to be about as sensationalist as a Keith Olberman rant on MSNBC
