The Newsroom Season 3
DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:
It took me some time to consider this show for my watch list. With everything that’s going on in the world these days, I just didn’t want to waste my down time on a show that would most likely feature nothing but things happening overseas, or elections.
To my surprise, it presented a program that made me think, ‘Hey, maybe that’s what goes on at the news station I watch everyday.’ It incorporated the events of the staff’s lives, and more importantly, it taught me a few things I didn’t know.
I think I actually learned something during the times they discussed finances. Not to say it was a show based on educating views, but it was the type of show you couldn’t help but learn from.
And yes, the last show was heartbreaking, and funny at the same time.
Originally when I decided to watch Newsroom, it was because I wanted something playing in the background while I cleaned the house. Needless to say, I found myself glued to my Kindle.
So when I say this is a MUST SEE show, I mean it. Jeff Daniels was better than I’ve ever seen him.

From it’s first episode when ACN news anchor Will McAvoy, (Daniels), a Republican newscaster, rips apart the question posed by a broadcast student at Northwestern University, you know this might get good. Now, it’s 2017 and I’ve watched this series, and introduced others to it, several times.
I’m very proud of the two degrees I hold, mass comm, and my MBA in finance. As a former broadcaster, (radio), I identified with the main characters need to be “liked”. In the broadcast world you’re only as good as your last ratings book, hence many viewers may find this show too “highbrow” for their tastes. If this is the case, please feel free to continue to keep up with the Kardashians and go on with your life.
If however, you’d like to see behind the scenes of what it takes to “do” the news, make sure to watch, at least the first episode, of this fantastic show. And remember, these people do this daily. To be civil in an uncivilized world is difficult, at best, and downright impossible sometimes.
**SPOILER**
I remember the Republican debate in 2011 when we had people booing an American soldier for being gay and him, the soldier, being worried that he wouldn’t be allowed to fight for our freedom. I remember screaming at my TV that none of the candidates were actual statesmen, and NONE were qualified to be president because they wouldn’t speak up against such reprehensible behavior. I was ashamed to be a Republican in 2012 because of that. And I thought then, “Look how many candidates are on that stage, multiply by 10 million each. And that’s how many votes Obama will win by”. l was a little short. In 2008 when the elderly lady called Obama a Muslim terrorist at a town hall meeting, John McCain spoke up and defended his opponent. He acted like a statesman should. We all must vote as our conscience tells us. But we don’t have to be the playground bully,, Mr. Trump. Yes, I said it, chase me down and hate me forever, but as I said, conscience first.
Now here it is 2017 and once again the extreme right are acting like idiots.Of course, the Democrats aren’t any better, but I haven’t seen them boo a soldier fighting for them, for any reason, including the ones that would be worthy of such an offense.
I like that Daniels plays the everyman part. “I’m a Republican, that means I support being able to defend ourselves, a smaller government, and fiscal responsibility. But by being identified as a Republican, it also means that I have to be a homophobic, gun toting, bible thumping, racist.” Most Republicans have some common sense, as do most Democrats. Then there’s the crazies. Then, there’s Don Quixote.

This is the smartest television I have seen in so long. Jeff Daniels is mesmerizing in this role. I found myself just waiting for where he would weigh in on the real-time stories and life in general. Season three was short but didn’t miss a beat. If you’ve seen the first two seasons the third will NOT disappoint. I was saddened this was the series finale. I really would have enjoyed this series for a long haul! Kudos to all the actors and writers…really brilliant.
