Newsroom

Did you think the premiere was great, or did you find it "pretentious"?

I thought it was brilliant. Really enjoyed the performances and Emily Mortimer was great even though Jeff Daniels will probably get most of the attention I really thought she was excellent.
I've never really been a fan of Dev Patel, I thought skin's was the worst piece of, actually its' hard not to swear when I describe that show. I thought Slumdog Millionaire was rubbish too but he didn't annoy me in this so that's good. Thought Alison Pill was great too, only ever seen her in Milk and I think I'm going to enjoy watching her character develop. Her boyfriend is a raging douche though so I'm glad the show has given me someone to not like straight away.

Should be interesting to watch the series going forward. I only recently saw Network for the first time (for shame) so was quite in the mood for this when I heard about it. Setting it in 2010 is interesting, let's them treat the news then with some perspective.
