The Newsroom Reviews and After Show - AfterBuzz TV

51

The Newsroom After Show recaps, reviews and discusses episodes of HBO's The Newsroom.Show Summary: Aaron Sorkin once chronicled the daily work of the federal government in "The West Wing." In "The Newsroom," the Emmy-winning executive producer uses the operation of a fictional cable news network as the heart of the story, with Jeff Daniels portraying the network's lead anchor and leading an ensemble cast. Episodes are written around actual recent news events, reported by a staff that takes its collective responsibilities seriously, but corporate and commercial obstacles — plus entangled personal relationships — fly in the face of their public mission.

    A thinking person's show- degraded into slumber party gossip
    This is awful. The Newsroom is such a powerful, well-written show, with a backdrop of some very significant moments in world history. And yet the hosts treat the subject matter like they are discussing Jersey Shore. They can barely stop giggling long enough to speak a complete sentence. I am literally embarrassed for them, and after wincing my way through three eps, desperately hoping someone would take them aside and teach them how to conduct themselves like adults, I just can't take it any more. This podcast is an insult to a great show, and a terrible disappointment. Unless you like the sound of teenage girls giggling uncontrollably in your ear, skip this podcast.

    Absolutely Fantastic
    Great podcast! Love their input! Especially when they get as excited as some of the side romantic story lines as I do!

    Love this podcast!
    I listen every week - this is my first time posting. The podcast has almost become the second half of the episode to me -- really adds a whole other dimension to the show. Love it.

    Outstanding Podcast! Insightful and a true pleasure!
    I am able to listen to quite a few podcasts due to the nature of my job, and this is most definitely is one of the best by far! The hosts offer excellent insights about an unusually complex and interesting show; and perhaps more importantly, do so with a wonderfully natural camaraderie full of humor and respect for each others' opinions and thoughts. This makes their podcast a true pleasure to listen to - entertaining, thought-provoking and the model of what a podcast can be. A huge thank you to this group. Keep up the great "work" (in quotes because you all seem to enjoy yourselves so much)!

    To much giggles
    You guys are very good about telling the story but sorry guys way to much giggling. Just try to cut it down a little. I enjoy listening but you really got to be a little more professional.

    Who's the greater fool?
    The podcast isn't bad, but you don't understand what the greater fool is referring to.

    Love the journalist perspective
    Not sure what all the hate being thrown at the ladies, but I find their insight coming from a journalism background to be good. I listen every week. My only criticism is I wished the show was longer as sometimes they don't have time to hit all of the plot points.

    Hire smarter commentators
    Unlistenable. The hosts of this show sound like valley girls and the "Morning Zoo" style of Afterbuzz's branding feel patronizing in this context. This is a smart show and it's viewership deserves smart conversation. Afterbuzz is dominating after show commentary right now, but I hope someone else swoops in and steals their spotlight. The concept of after show commentary is fantastic, but Afterbuzz's execution is insulting.

    LOVING The Newsroom AfterBuzz TV After Show!!! by Drew "ironman9695" Johnson
    Kellie, Kristin, Kendra and Sarah are KILLING IT on the AfterBuzz TV After Show for The Newsroom! I just discovered this show a couple of weeks ago and have been getting caught up on them over the last couple of weeks. I LOVE this show! One of the things that I really enjoy about it is that Kellie, Kristin, Kendra and Sarah really are fans of the show. They are as passionate about it as I am! They have had some good guests, especially Amin who appeared on the show a few weeks back as Amen. I will not be missing any of these and am going to check out some of the other After Shows that AfterBuzz TV broadcasts. Great job, ladies! Thanks for giving fans of the show another forum in which they can discuss it and benefit from your impressions each week!

    Sorkin is king...
    Thanks for recording this podcast about The News room each week. I think you do a good job covering the highlights of the episode and portraying the intention of this show as entertainment. I'm enjoying the show and I love everything Sorkin does. There are some gaps in the show, but i still love hearing the Sorkin-isms and figuring out parallels between this show and his other shows. I do agree with some of the press about the women, Maggie and Mackenzie are just a bit too girlie and ditzy for my liking. I also see zero chemistry between Maggie and Don and Mackenzie and Will. The actors and actresses are great, but there's that missing piece. Anyway, keep up the good work, it's nice to hear a journalistic perspective.

    Hated it
    The girls on this podcast came off as very vapid and "Valley Girl". Had to turn it off after 20 minutes.
  • Jesse W Jackson
    Walking and Talking podcast!
    It's great to hear a fun discussion about the newest Sorkin TV show. They focus on the relationships as well as the entertainment value of the show. It's a great companion to the series.

    There is nothing richer than a brilliant podcast and this is who you should listen to.
    AfterBuzz TV made a brilliant decision in having an all female podcast for this show. As a guy, this is an opinion I was very curious about and was glad to finally here the opinion that these women individually hold of The Newsroom. What keeps me coming back is that it's a podcast of actual journalists from different avenues of journalism. To me there iss nothing richer than an informed opinion. Now I have to change that to include the fact that there is nothing richer than an informed opinion from journalists who love the characters and know what makes great television. Well done Ladies. Well done.
