This show is getting downright painful to sit through. The biggest complaint about the first season was all of the pointless relationship drama, so what does Sorkin do? Put even more into the 2nd season. Jim's soapbox moment on the bus was cringe inducing, the "reveal" of the reporter being in Will's apartment was unbelievably predictable, and the fax at the end was pure cheese. The only remotely entertaining thing about that episode was the slapstick humor with a guy falling out of a chair.
The irony in Sorking making a show, railing against the trashyness of modern news, itself being trashy and cliched is too much to take. Maybe that's the point though, and he's being so deep that no one else can see it
