There seems to be a concerted effort to trash this show in the mainstream media (of course) but I will watch anything Aaron Sorkin puts out there. That diatribe at Northwestern in the show was a thing of beauty.

"I fucking loved what you said at Northwestern - that's why I brought her." or something like that

Sorkin can even make me like Sam Waterston again

and Jeff Daniels even makes me want to go to Michigan . . . which I will do as soon as they get democracy back - I'm JOKING!

I've only watched it 2 or three times and actually, I think I am going to go watch it again ...

On one level, brilliant beyond compare - particularly on Cable Teevee v1.2. But, that says more about the rest of what we've become and are watching.

I think we're in a really deep funk. But, even that doesn't last.

& HBO put it on YouTube, indicating that they might have a clue. We'll see about that, too.

Smart writing. Assumes were not idiots. I like that kind of thing.
