Sorkin’s own, publicly admitted difficulties writing the Newsroom scripts, fatigue with the series, and mea culpa that it wasn’t his best work will, too, most certainly be remembered. Some critics accuse Sorkin of those things, as if it’s not a self-aware decision to write characters that way, or make those statements. They say the show is those things as if they are insults. But watch The Newsroom through a lens where it is expected to be pretentious and patronizing, and knows that it is, and it not just fulfills its mission, it’s highly entertaining. There was also a quintessentially Newsroom moment. Neil returns from hiding abroad, where he went to protect his source, and just gives it to the doofus web editor who was ruining ACN’s website with pedestrian clickbait content.
‘e! News’ Canceled After Nearly 30 Years Amid Coronavirus Cuts
And, oh dear, does he love a soapbox or what? I’m not going to get into a debate about whether Sorkin’s choice for The Newsroom —to comment on real-life news stories after they’ve happened, presented as happening in the moment — is a crutch or a clever trick. (This season kicks off with the Boston marathon bombings.) I’ll just say it doesn’t mix well with the aforementioned love of a soapbox and, for me, that was part of the problem with this series from the start. Here is the issue with canceling this show. For starters, it has given anchors who rather speak loosely about what is truly happening around the world and to the people who are making a difference. I wouldn’t be the slightest surprised if real anchors are giving the shows creators pointers and/or facts to what they can not report on mainstream TV.

There’s nothing more that can be done, so why not admit the world is ending? Sorkin excels at this kind of contrast, and that certainly was the most convincing bout of lecturing The Newsroom delivered this week. The Newsroom is the first show he’s ending on his own terms.Lieberstein, who was the hangdog Toby on The Office for many years, should be nominated for a Guest Acting Emmy for his work in this episode. There was something so thrilling about his despondent delivery of the doomsday message to a befuddled Will. A series gets an Average Tomatometer when at least 50 percent of its seasons have a score.
Don Keefer is the former executive producer of News Night, having taken over the show that follows it. He often butts heads with Will, mostly because they’re a lot alike. He’d love to be on the same quixotic journey as everyone else, but is a realist who understands the business and knows he’s always one ratings point away from being out of a job. NBCUniversal this week has been firing staff across its entertainment portfolio, including cable and broadcast channels, theme parks and movie studio, The Wall Street Journal reported.
