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? |
In all fairness, you can find many flaws in every TV show.
Breaking Bad, Game Of Thrones, Boardwalk Empire & The Walking Dead are all great shows IMO but you can find flaws in each of them.
I'm not sure I'd watch TV at all if I was bothered by what is or isn't realistic.
