The critically panned by undeniably enjoyable Aaron Sorkin dramedy Newsroom just doesn’t have enough episodes yet to satisfy. But don’t worry, Newsroom is nothing but a self-important reincarnation of Sorkin’s short lived classic Sports Night.

Kristian
Matthews
A week later, I still remember it. Give it a try.
