The Newsroom: The Complete First Season review
What if TV got back to reporting actual news rather than celebrity gossip?
Aaron Sorkin's latest show explores what would happen if a TV news programme decided to stop chasing ratings in order to report genuine news stories. Just like his earlier hit, The West Wing, it makes for provocative, engaging and very funny (if somewhat idealised) television drama of the highest calibre. This four-disc release delivers strong AVC 1.78:1 1080p encodes (although the pilot was shot on super-grainy 16mm), modest DTS-HD MA 5.1 sonics and some enlightening extra features.
