I love the tone of the show and am glad Sorkin has decided to go at it with this type of pace and what some people describe as "being talked down to". I'd rather Sorkin not pull any punches and offend some people with how he writes this show. I also don't see how someone could feel talked down to, unless they actually buy into what network news stations are doing in the states or the shape that America is in right now. If people feel it lecturing the point to much, I can understand that but I feel it's important for the show to keep pounding away at what it's about.

I thought it be incredibly hard to top such a strong pilot but episode 2 was even stronger. Much more focus on the characters themselves and setting the scene for the rest of the season really well. Jeff Daniels seems like perfect casting.

And trying to avoid what people are calling Sorkin fans as elitists, I would ask for the people who didn't like the show, if they were fans of Sorkin's work before?
