Newsroom!

Newsroom Original Intro

Love this intro!


I've been watching Newsroom on HBO since the very first episode. Newsroom is considers and American Political Drama. Although I am not a huge fan of politics this is such a great show. Last night I could not refresh my twitter page fast enough. Tweets poured in with fans sharing how much they love the show!

The reason I like it is because it gives you an inside look to real life events in our history. The topics they cover in the show are the most scandalous and important stories shown on the news; such as the oil spill, the killing of Osama Bin Laden, the presidential elections, political scandals, Gabrielle Gifford's story and more.




Its not all historical events and politics though. There are some really dynamic relationships formed with the characters which play into why the show has such good ratings. One of the core relationships is between Will McAvoy (Jeff Daniels) and MacKenzie Morgan (Emily Mortimer). The two dated for several years until MacKenzie cheated on Will. Will has never been able to forgive her. After several years of not contacting each other MacKenzie gets a job a the executive producer at News Night. I wont share to much but I'm sure you can only imagine where the relationship goes from this point on.




There are some other great characters to check out as well. Sloan Sabbith (Olivia Munn) and Neal Sampat (Dev Patel) start the show with small roles but soon turn into lovable and irreplaceable figures in the storyline. They are two of my favorite characters.



You should all definitely watch next time!
