I agree with you that making Dantana the one and only “bad guy” is a cop-out, and that there’s no motivation at all for Leona and Reese deciding to keep everyone, when they’ve been wanting to fire them all since we met them. But it did show a news team’s investigative process, and all they try to do to get it right. And it did give us a work-related subject that didn’t play like another round of “we’re better than all the other news networks because Aaron Sorkin is writing us AFTER the events happen”, something the show did too much of in the first season.

But I do think that Sorkin’s biggest weakness is “relationship” stories. Other than Sloan and Don, every other “relationship” has thudded along in a boring, annoying, exasperating, and ridiculous fashion, eating up way too much screen time. Sorkin has lots of problems writing women characters without being sexist. He should spend a season focusing on the work environment, reducing the “relationship” stuff to less than 5% of the screen time. There’s a really good show in there waiting to come out–even a funny one. But we’ve gotten so much personal relationship stuff instead, and he’s just plain bad at it.

There was very little of that on the first few years of “The West Wing”, and the show was sensational. That’s the “Newsroom” I want to see.

And bring back the first season opening credits–the ones that were nominated for an Emmy this year. The 2nd season credits are a miserable, chopped-up mess by comparison, even ruining the theme music.
