Only the 6-8 five-star episodes with the highest involvement in the second half of the season.
Ep.6 Sloan successfully captured me in the anchor of the Fukushima incident. From the moment she appeared, I coveted her beauty, until I saw her squeezed into the main line, and continued to play a smart, warm-blooded, cute, and sometimes self-deprecating (which should be a two-dimensional) role, I still couldn't stop myself from falling in love with her! ! (The real person also majored in journalism, minored in Japanese, and took hot photos...)
Will's bully behavior reflection also made me begin to change Sorkin's conception.
Ep.7 The killing of bin Laden is the main theme of the patriotic education of the US imperialists. In a tense and restrained tone, this major news event is advanced, and the plot is still very exciting. Will getting high; Don, Sloan and Elliot trapped in the cabin; Don's turning-to-good-guy moment, it can only be said that the joke is good for the appetite, and the sensationalism is instantly in place.
Ep.8 In mid-July 2011, Casey Anthony's acquittal for murdering a woman was widely spread in the media. It was when I was in Florida, and I had some personal experience with the attention of this case, so the connection with real events created a high degree of involvement. After reading it, I really took the time to understand the ins and outs of the incident, and (for me) spent a lot of time learning about the Simpson wife murder case that year. Sorkin's critique of selective bias in media coverage and the pan-entertainment of news adds to my respect.
Finally, look forward to the second season. The emotional drama can continue to be bloody, but I hope serious things are still wonderful.
