I think Alison Pill is incredibly talented. It's crazy to think this is the same actress who was in Milk. I mean that in every sense of the word. I have to blame the creatives on this show. This character does nothing smart for anybody. It's all Sorkin verbal diarrhea.

As a viewer, am I supposed to want to stab Allison Pill's character?

I can't quite find it online, but I read a tweet that went:

@Someone
Whatever the hate-fuck version of watching Newsroom is, I'm doing that right now.

I only watched the first few episodes. I feel like Sorkin's tying to resuscitate the stillborn that was his late '90s show Sports Night which was cancelled after only two seasons.

Is anybody watching this? Because holy shit, it's been a long time since I've hated a show this much.
