I’ve very proud of The Newsroom. I have the time of my life working with the people that I work with, but there is a learning curve and unfortunately, those lessons are learned in front of several million people. Again, that’s what you sign up for. I wish that I could go back to the beginning of The Newsroom and start again and replicate what you have with a play, which is a preview period… But I’m feeling really good about how the third season is going. I’ll look back on it fondly and proudly and wish I could get every scene of every episode back so that I could do it all over again.
Aaron Sorkin apologizes for The Newsroom, a show that has a lot of problems – oh, so many – but which I really enjoy anyway. Admittedly, I’ve only seen season one so far, so the second season could take an astonishing nosedive, but still.
