There's nothing like a good old Sorkin "walk and talk".

It looks like the first season is only 6 episodes long, but I'm sure it will get a second season (I think HBO gives everything a second season).

It will be interesting to see if they continue the whole concept of showing us the news a year after it happened.

That's one of the main criticisms of the show that I've seen, and I have to agree. It's very easy to look back on a news story and recreate how it should have been reported in a perfect world with all the benefit of hindsight (if the guy's college roommate wasn't a junior VP at BP, and his sister didn't work for Haliburton, they wouldn't have had any better story than anyone else). It was the pilot, so I'll give them a pass, but if it keeps happening every week, it will drive me away.
