I thought the third episode was the best yet, but there are still some things I find really annoying about the show. Not enough for me to tune out, though. I loved the scenes with the CEO of the parent company (Jane Fonda's character) going head-to-head with Sam Waterston arguing that she had a fiduciary duty to the shareholders to gain more advertising revenue that supersedes any desire the network might have to provide a more informative newscast.

Since we know the show is covering news stories from the recent past, I think it's fun to speculate what events will be the focus of upcoming episodes. In the fiction of the show, we're now in November 2010. I'll bet one of the next episodes will be about the wikileaks release of diplomatic cables (November 28), as they've already strongly hinted they'll be covering that ground. After that, we'll probably see the shooting of Gabrielle Giffords, the Arab Spring, the Japan earthquake, the raid on Osama bin Laden's compound, and the terrorist attacks in Norway. The season will probably end with the Occupy protests.
