Intelligent, well written, nicely paced and relevant to our times best describes this wonderful television show.
It really pays tribute to our news anchor. Jeff Daniels is wonderful here as such an anchor. He is hard-driven, bright, and a news hound who angers many when he says what's wrong with America at a college forum.
He returns from a 3 week "vacation" to find that his staff has left him and that an old flame named McKenzie shall be his executive producer. Angered by this, especially since he feels that his contract has been violated, he goes to his attorney but quickly returns.
It's just wonderful to view how the news team coalesces when breaking news appears regarding an oil spill off the coast of Louisiana. With technology there, it's a pleasure to see how the crew is able to get the information off to Will McAvoy (Daniels) as he is on the air.
Daniels delivers biting lines. He can be very sarcastic here.
If this show were on channel 4, they'd say it appeals to older folks. We need more shows like this in intellectual pursuit regarding interesting topics of the day.
