Same here. I like it because it's no BS and good acting. I could give two shits about politics.

all good episodes except the 2nd one. Emily mortimer is awesome, and i wasn't expecting to like olivia munn in this as much as i do.

I loved the Rudy angle this week. It was great seeing all the guys explain it to Jim.

jacobsever · 07-23-2012, 05:23 AM

Favorite so far. Hard to believe the series is already halfway over.

blubalz · 07-27-2012, 01:59 AM

Whoops. Lol didnt see this thread. Anyhow 4 episodes in and loving it

Wally Q · 07-30-2012, 05:53 AM

This episode was a return to form after that subpar Slumdog Kung Pow bout.

Bin Laden next week.

Good episode. The writing was masterful and the story really kept me tuned in. Next week will hopefully be really extraordinary given the topic at hand.

COLD_COBRA_ · 08-02-2012, 07:07 PM

amazing amazing. Olivia munn is really killing it and giving a big F you to all the haters.

Aragorn the Elfstone · 08-02-2012, 07:10 PM

I really don't get why this show was slammed by the critics.

It's actually insanely good. I've been enjoying it more and more each week.

Watched ep. 4 & 5 last night, still one behind... This show is just so refreshing.

COLD_COBRA_ · 08-05-2012, 09:49 PM

2nd best show on tv during the summer of 2012 is back on tonight!

COLD_COBRA_ · 08-06-2012, 08:09 PM

amazing amazing episode last night! I don't give a shit if you disagree. Seriously, stop what you're doing and watch it.

jacobsever · 08-07-2012, 03:14 AM

Favorite new series in years.

Probably top 5 all time so far, and season 1 isn't even over yet.

supersix4 · 08-07-2012, 03:24 AM

Thought some of it was a little sappy... THe why don't you tell'm, pilot realization, and the standing up in the broadcast room. Situation didn't need help to be powerful.

Still love it though

Josh · 08-07-2012, 11:19 AM

Loved that episode. It brought up the same feeling I had that day when the President made the announcement. Out of contexts, the episode would be sappy and over dramatic. But given the story, and how important that news was to everyone in this country, it just felt right.

I wanted to stand up and appauld but I was too moved by the whole episode.

Maybe it was Crews or the cast on the plane but I just couldn't get over the forced feeling (which I didn't get from sam waterston) I am intrigued where the source is going although they kinda hinted it'll be like the uk news scandal
