ALL THE CRITICS AGREE! HBO’s ‘The Newsroom’ is TERRIBLE!

“The Newsroom gets so bad so quickly that I found my jaw dropping.” -Emily Nussbaum, The New Yorker

“It may take a contrarian both cranky and romantic to fall in love with The Newsroom.” -Alessandra Stanley, The New York Times

““A dramatically inert, infuriating mess! The phrase “shooting fish in a barrel” springs to mind.” -Maureen Ryan, The Huffington Post

“The Newsroom is not necessarily a bad idea.” -Mary McNamara, Los Angeles Times

 ”I was not a fan.” -James Poniewozik, TIME

“An unintentional satire of itself!” -San Francisco Chronicle

“Exponentially tedious!” -Hank Stuever, The Washington Post

*Note: I’ll probably still watch it.

    Oh, shit. But I’m not surprised. The trailers have left me kind of cold. Back to my “Sports Night” rewatch I go.
