Is it for me?
Dialogue lovers who enjoy people talking fast and arguing about how things ought to be done will be at home here, whether or not the speeches win them over. Jeff Daniels plays the anchor as weary and sarcastic, and in one early scene he apologizes on air for his own old newscasts, which infuriates the network's CEO. You also know how each headline turned out, and the characters do not.
Before you start
Season one is mostly a news story a week, season two follows a single storyline across nine episodes, and season three is a short six-episode run.
3 seasons, 25 episodes, 60 min each, about 25 hours so far
