What do you think? Do you like The Newsroom TV series? Do you think it should be renewed for a second season or cancelled instead?
This is one of the best shows that have been on TV for a long time. It reaches a depth heretofore seen in television and if only the today’s news had the high standards of ethics that this show has. I love the characters and the drama is edge-of-the seat outstanding.
Absolutely love this shiw. Watched this as part of an HBO free week. Made it a marathon for six hours. We may subscribed to HBO just so we can continue watching. Keep it going, don’t cancel!
I love this show! Please have more seasons!!
Best show of the summer !!!
BEST SHOW ever on HBO – my son, my husband and I all LOVE it.
Love this show and very happy to learn that the show has been renewed for the second season. The actors for the roles of Will, Charlie, Jim and Maggie deliver brilliant performance. However, Mackenzie’s character is annoying and disappointing. She behaves like a teenager and a hysterical woman in work place and constantly and inappropriately mixing her personal issues with her work – highly unprofessional. Please change her character, so we can actually like her and want to see more of her.
All the conservatives writing about it his show being “liberal propaganda” are, please don’t take offense, morons. It is a television show with its only purpose is to entertain viewers. Not to keep the right side thinking the media is out to get their precious party. Grow up. If want to watch a “REAL” news show then stick with Bill O’Reilly. But if you want entertainment then watch this.
