Newsroom jumped the shark at Season 2, Episode 6 (spoilers)

Posted by Inigo (aka Inigo) Mar 6 '14, 09:38

Really, Sorkin? Jerry has a hatey boner for Obama so he decides to alter the General's interview to push the Genoa story through? I was willing to look the other way while Will McAvoy does his Keith Olbermann impression nightly, but ugh.

I was so hooked until that point.

With NBC rebooting shows, West Wing and a three-season Sorkin run would have me hook, line and sinker. I'm happy Newsroom is done after this year. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Mar 6, 10:00
It's based on an actual event that happened at CNN -- (link) - TWuG Mar 6, 09:45 1
- Oh, I saw that. I was enjoying the Genoa story up until Jerry's rant. -- nm - Inigo Mar 6, 09:52
although this got lapped by reality, not too far after the fact. -- nm - Reagen Mar 6, 09:44
I don't remember anything about Jerry hating Obama but his entire story arc was insipid. -- nm - David Mar 6, 09:44 13
- Maybe they don't keep going down that road, but (spoilers) - Inigo Mar 6, 09:50 12
  - What I just couldn't get over (spoils for the end of the season) - prayformojo Mar 6, 09:54 5
    - Yeah (spoils) - Inigo Mar 6, 10:00
    - I'm pretty sure he wrote himself into a corner and the reshoots magnified the issue. -- nm - David Mar 6, 09:58
    - Or his references to McKenzie's "sweet sweet can". -- nm - Reagen Mar 6, 09:58 1
      - "Marge, truly yours is a butt that won't quit." -- nm - David Mar 6, 10:00
    - What was annoying about that - Max Mar 6, 09:58

    - You IM might be correct, but it doesn't make me feel any less annoyed with the show. -- nm - Inigo Mar 6, 09:56 2
      - I am honestly surprised you were enjoying season 2 until that point. -- nm - David Mar 6, 10:00 1
        
        Maybe I was preprared for worse because everyone seemed to hate the second season so much. -- nm - Inigo Mar 6, 10:05
    - That was my thought. I didn't get a political vibe about his issues. -- nm - David Mar 6, 09:56 1
