I just finished watching the last episode of The Newsroom - and it's literally one of the best shows I've ever seen. I've always been a fan of Aaron Sorkin's work, and this is a favorite in that collection.
While The Newsroom kept up with current events ranging from 2011 to 2013, it seems to give a lot of context to what we are currently experiencing as a nation in 2021. And who better to communicate that in a way that everyone can understand it than Aaron Sorkin.
There couldn't have been a better cast for this show - was a lineup of diverse and talented actors that come together to form that team of characters we root for, but also people we identify with. The chemistry between Jeff Daniels and Emily Mortimer is spectacular, and Sam Waterston - all I can say is I love that guy in whatever he's in. Chris Messina was another casting highlight, a departure from his usual character, who is generally unlikeable in The Newsroom - yet he plays his character well, & brings a lot of memorable moments to the story.
As I said in my title, if they were ever a show that needed to be rebooted - The Newsroom would be that show.
