Judas Priest. I do not watch much television but I just finished watching this episode 3 years after it opened. Has to be one of the best bloody shows I have seen on tv in years. If you start doing tv like this I might start watching it again. Good job good show. Just so much empty headed crap out there. I can hardly wait to c episode 2. Saw the whole series. They must of had fun doing this show. What a lot of talented people.. Why is it the good stuff goes off the air and the crap stays on. Hmmmm . most people are used to crap. Sort of like the news we get. How does a show that gets 4.7 out of 5 get taken off the air. No wonder I do not watch TV there is so much crap on it and they take off the good stuff

One of Aaron Sorkin's best TV show yet. It's a shame we only get 3 seasons. Not to many show series can match The Newsroom. Jeff Daniels and cast are fantastic.

I watched this series a number of years ago and had a vague recollection of the first (how great was that?), third (how the Republican Party lost its way), and tenth (holding the country hostage to the national debt) episodes. Given today's political climate I thought it worthwhile to watch again. And so I am. Interesting isn't it that nothing much has changed, in fact things have gotten worse, for the Republican Party.
