    Looks good. Jeff Daniels is one of my favorite actors as a matter of fact and more Daniels is a good thing

          Early reviews aren't that great so far. Perhaps expectations were too large for another Sorkin show.

              The same people that find this a disappointing early on are the same people that were jizzing in their pants over every episode of Mad Men this season. So take it with a grain of salt.

                This is going to be a show that will need to stew and be given a chance to develop...it looks like one of those shows that'll get good in Seasons 2 and beyond.

                        It is obviously well written in the dialogue department...not sure where it is going yet...will keep up with it though.

                          Yeah I thought it was just ok. The premise is nice but I kind of have a problem with them placing it 2 years in the past. It seems like they'll just hit every big news story since then and cover exactly how it should have been covered. I don't think I can get into a show where the big moment each week is a news story or, from what the preview showed, them not being able to get a source on the show being the pivotal moment. Seems a bit slow.

                          Anyone realize that it was Jesse Eisenberg as the inexperienced well inspector on the phone?

                            I like how fast paced it was. Couldn't keep my eyes off what was going on. I got a little annoyed by it starting with BP Spill, which I'm guessing will be followed by other big news events over the past years.

                              It was better than the reviews were saying, which is a great thing. It set my expectations low and was happily surprised.

                              I'm in.
