Ugh, I have such a love-hate relationship with this show. I enjoy the writing and acting in certain scenes (like the bit in the bar between Jeff Daniels and the gossip writer trying to extort him for $50k in the most recent episode), but then other moments are so poorly-written and manipulative. I agree with Sorkin's political views (for the most part), but I can't get over how terribly
anvilicious the writing is. I'll ride this out until the end of the season, but it's about 50-50 if I'll bother watching season 2.
Also, all the female characters on this show are terrible and unrealistic, and I every time there's a lack of professionalism displayed by the ACN crew, I instantly lose my suspension of disbelief. Do we really need a public fight about some character's personal relationship
in front of all of his or her co-workers every single episode?
