Review
I watch a lot of TV shows and I have to say that The Newroom has impressed. Quick witted fast paced and dealing with issues that exist in American news coverage and to some extent beyond. The main characters were engaging and their interactions into the future will be interesting to see as well.
What I really enjoyed was the exploration of what news reporting really is and how reporters should act when in the pursuit of a story as well as what stories are relevant. Though not explicitly stated it brings to mind the image of a reporter who is actually unbiased and unafraid to go after the truth. The first episode covered the events of the BP oil spill in 2010. I look forward to the coverage of other major news events from this inside perspective as well.
Definitely recommend it as a show to see. I hope it continues on in the same vein.
