Anyone else watching this on HBO? Another stellar show by the network. And I'm not sure I've ever seen Daniels in something where I necessarily really liked him. He's a stud in this and I highly recommend it.

I liked him. I just didn't really like him.

There are two types of people in this world. Those who like Jeff Daniels, and those that don't. My ex-wife loves him.
The show is a steaming pile.
That's what I expected based on the previews.
And Jeff Daniels has been excellent in lots of things prior to this: Pleasantville, The Purple Rose of Cairo, and Away we Go come immediately to mind. Although there were several years where I couldn't tell him and Bill Pullman apart for the life of me.
The Newsroom is Sorkin at his worst. It's Olbermann mythologizing, speechifying, demeaning to women, and incredibly insulting to the industry it purports to cover.
The only scenes worth anything have been the ones between Daniels and Sam Waterston. If we could turn this into a sitcom where those two are forced to sleep in the same bed for some reason and Waterston can complain about how scratchy Jeff Daniels beard is for some reason there may be hope for it.
