(halfway through season 2 currently). As good as the plot lines and every actor is, the dialogue is amazing! I;d seen Newsroom and knew Sorkin could spin it well, but every damned episode of WW so far has been a joy to listen to. Erudite, rational, measured and dramatic... all finding a shared intersection within his writing.

This was network television at it's proudest.
