Bill Pullman is pitch perfect in this role - so hard to believe he was Harry from Dumb & Dumber some days.

Do you mean Jeff Daniels?

And March - I think they become expert enuf as they have multiple people looking at different angles on off-shore drilling and feeding them to the producers & on-air media. At least that's what I'd guess happens when a real disaster/crisis occurs in actual newsrooms anyways. Also, don't forget these are news junkies - they likely are much more involved generally in a wide variety of topics that allows them to dive in more quickly than most folks. It wasn't totally implausible to me anyways....

As written, they were making all kinds of claims with a level of understanding of the situation that only an engineer or geologist would have within minutes of learning of the story when details were still very sketchy. Both my wife and I immediately commented that it seemed very unrealistic that journalists and producers would have that breadth of knowledge so quickly after learning of the explosion/spill. I read several reviews of the first episode that also raised the same point.
