Will is the most popular news anchor in the U.S. back to life by a public breakdown and the arrival of his ex-love MacKenzie McHale, one of the best executive producers in the business. MacKenzie comes in with one mission - change the show from a pandering, ratings driven news program to a truth driven, ethical and fair news report reminiscent of the original news programs.
Monstrously misconceived and incompetently executed, powered by a high-octane blend of arrogance and contempt, The Newsroom is an epochal failure, a program destined for television's all-time What Were They Thinking?
Ultimately, no one appears more deluded than Sorkin. His Will McAvoy is an insufferable blowhard, but the show spends most of its energy trying to convince us he's a saint.
The biggest problem with The Newsroom - and it's one of many, many problems - is that its goals and its narrative strategies are in direct conflict with each other.
Speechifying, crusading characters and high drama are acceptable when the future of the free world is at risk; less so when it's the future of an 11pm cable news show.
