The Newsroom Season 2

A lot of my complaints with the first season were fixed in the second. Season One was too preachy in the sense that it took actual events and condemned much of the media for not covering them in the right way. The writers had the benefit of perfect hindsight and used it to make themselves look morally superior. It was annoying. I didn't need it in a fictional TV show. They eliminated that almost entirely in this season. Rather than be perfect, they made the cast anything but. This season focused on one monumental mistake that ACN made. The entire season is an investigation into how and why the mistake was made. For the first time, these characters were vulnerable. It was a much-needed change that took this show from being somewhat annoying to stellar TV. Jeff Daniels is incredible as always. He was the only reason to watch season 1 and he's a damn good reason to watch season 2. I understand if you can't make it through the first season, but if you can, you are rewarded with this season. Great. Watch.
