As a non-pure American drama fanatic, I really haven't watched many American dramas completely (so it seems that I haven't watched many TV dramas except when I was a child... off topic), but first of all, due to the psychological proximity, Newsroom brought me Great impression.
The insistence on editorial independence, the pursuit of the authenticity of news, and the high-level stand alone when faced with internal and external pressures so that the team can continue to let go of professional news programs...

Can we replace America with China? I hope, it is very much.
