"Season 1 review: What might be the most alluring part of The Newsroom is that it's clear Sorkin wants the show to be enormous, filled with characters of all stripes and able to take on innumerable storylines."

Hollywood Reporter

"Season 1 review: The Newsroom is a message-driven delight - at least for liberals."

—

Slant Magazine

"Season 1 review: Newsroom is both entertaining and irritating. The info is important and good, but the quipping banter with which it's delivered, isn't."

—

New York Post

"Season 1 review: Frustration is the overwhelming feeling coming out of watching the entire first season of The Newsroom."

—

We Got This Covered

"Season 1 review: The Newsroom is the worst of Aaron Sorkin and the best of Aaron Sorkin; you can't have one without the other, and I'll wager that anyone who's ever enjoyed his work must know that."

—

Vulture

"Season 1 review: While not without charms, these soap-opera elements feel like time-killers, distracting from the pointed commentary where Sorkin's main focus resides."
