    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.

    • west wing is his best, you should get on that.colin_s
    • 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.jtb26
