i love both aaron sorkin + hbo, so this looks like it will win my attention. hbo seems to be making some better decisions on shows after a couple flops ("hung," "how to make it in america").

I'll watch it if it's half as good as the CBC show of the same name from the 90s:

aaron sorkin...
this means that half way through the first season he'll use the show to get on his soap box.
His shows have a tendency to be the same. Ensemble cast, stories wound up in an environment where there is usually some sort of tight deadline. Granted I've enjoyed this in the past (west wing excluded, haven't seen that) but I'm not sure how much of that sort of thing I actually want to watch in a lifetime.
- Also - haven't seen a damn thing about the show - i can't watch the trailer from the train. so i may be really off base.jtb26
- "he'll use the show to get on his soap box." You mean...a writer will use his work to express an opinion? The gall...futuremongolian
- west wing is his best, you should get on that.colin_s
- So it's not JUST that he gets on a soap box. It's how obvious and preachy it is. I usually agree with it - but it's not what I want from a show.jtb26
- want out of my entertainment. I'll watch Jon Stewart for that thank you very much.jtb26

Watched the first episode last night. Didn't hate it. Anyone else catch this? what are your thoughts? I think its a good show, although it seems like its trying a bit too hard. Not sure if it will make it tho...All the reviews I've read have been pretty negative.

I decided instead to download all the seasons of the CBC series, watched the first few episodes today. So good.

I watched this because of that rant about America in the trailer, but it's not about that.
I thought it was really good. Excellent pacing, loved the way it unfolded.

For all their pretentions about journalistic integrity, they seem to be about as sensationalist as a Keith Olberman rant on MSNBC
