Sorek reviews "The Newsroom"

[sorek]

I saw the first episode of "The Newsroom", Sorkin's latest series. Quick version Sam Waterston plays a character similar to The West Wing's President Bartlett. Jeff Daniels plays a similar character to Josh, there is a Donna like character (I don't recognize the actress). The real problem is the Leo equivalent character who is played by a woman with a British accent that to me, sounds sort of like "Sophie" on Leverage but since she has to speak Sorkin-speak as opposed to Sophie speak is impossible to understand.

More like an R-Rated West Wing rather than "The Social Network"

The pilot had enough for me to come back for another episode.
