Anyone saw the pilot? I was on board 50% of the time, the other 50% it was still entertaining though. I do get what the reviews are saying, I'm just hoping it becomes better.

Agreed. This will be the first Sorkin tv show that I watch (seen Social Network a bunch of times). It was fairly entertaining but I have to say the dialogue was a little too snappy and thought out. Didn't seem natural and ended up being a little off putting. I guess I could say the same thing about the characters as well. It "felt" like a tv show.

Where as something like the wire felt a lot more real to me.

dug it, but I was drunk.

I don't think I'll be watching any more of this show. I decided I fucking can't stand the main character Mackenzie. I wanted to shoot her in the face watching last nights episode. Between the email stupidity and her way of speaking and stopping in mid sentence with a stupid look on her face, I had enough. Which is fine, one less show to have to watch.

I thought that even with some shortcomings the first episode showed promise and I was looking to give it a chance. After last nights train wreck I don't think I'll be giving it another chance. Awful terrible tripe.

Agreed. All the women characters are ridiculously annoying. I don't think Sorkin likes women very much.

Last night's ep did seem too smart and snappy for its own good. I'm willing to give it a couple more episodes before I give up on it. I want to see the characters develop a little further, but I'm not sticking around if the soap opera shit takes over.

At least Olivia Munn is topless in Magic Mike. Nice tits too.

Yeah

So far I felt its ok. I totally agree about the women characters though they are all really annoying.

The highlight of the show is the actual "on-air" segments the rest of it is kinda meh. I'm gonna give it 2 or 3 more episodes and see if it improves.

MichaelZodiac · July 31, 2012, 05:38:44 AM

I'm still watching it, the show doesn't annoy me but it also doesn't excite me. Olivia Munn with the hipster glasses is really hot though.

chlorpromazine · August 07, 2012, 03:23:19 AM

She's reason enough to watch the show.
I just watched Sunday night's episode, and it was one of the better eps so far.

irratebass · December 08, 2014, 02:50:48 PM

Anyone watch last night?

MadJohnShaft · December 09, 2014, 07:21:10 AM

The rape themed episode? The AV club reviewers despise this show.

It has its moments but I'm not sure I like any of the characters. And why are they all dating?
