HBO Renews Newsroom

Critical reception not bad enough to sink Aaron Sorkin's latest

(Newser) – It seems HBO isn't sweating the mostly terrible reviews The Newsroom has garnered so far. The network has already renewed Aaron Sorkin's polarizing media drama for another season, the Huffington Post reports. Newsroom had decent ratings for its premiere, drawing 2.1 million viewers, though that figure dropped 19% for the second episode, according to Cinema Blend. If nothing else, the show certainly has people talking, and it has even earned some high-profile admirers.

The show has been panned for being preachy, but it's really not; it's just that most of the rest of the stuff on the air is so gawdawful shallow and banal.

Can't HBO just hand this over to Soap Net or Lifetime? What the hell happened to HBO's cool programming?
