Review of 5/1

The Newsroom: 5/1 (2012)
Season 1, Episode 7
3/10
What is the virtue of a disproportionate response?
10 September 2022
I have a problem with this episode.

The drama on this series often doesn't come from people doing things, it comes.from people learning that others have done things.

The characters have to overcome their own personal struggles in order to get the story.

While sometimes it works have a problem with this episode is that the reward and recognition our heroes get, exceeds their involvement or personal challenges, those challenges being they have had to decipher a couple of cryptic tweets.

I know the same could be said for any episode, but they all act in an almost entitled manner towards their recognition, which comes makes them come across as smug, egotistical, and pompous.

A disproportionate response to reporting the news.

I am a fan of Mr Sorkin and I usually enjoy The Newsroom. This, in my belief, is the word episode he he has penned across any series.
