could have been better

No wonder it didn't last long. This drama is too monotonous and not enough tension. Many characters are just the mouthpieces of the director's makeover, but in fact the ideas are very similar. The director deliberately created an atmosphere that as long as we think differently, it is wrong. In fact, right and wrong are relative. The most impressive thing is that there is an episode in "The Good Wife" in which Alyssa and Kelly have a lawsuit against a soldier. Alyssa wins very hard, and everyone cheers, but after leaving the court, Kelly said to Alyssa. , he won, although he didn't have to go to jail, but he recovered his innocence, and he would be sent to the battlefield far away. Kelly didn't show any gloating expression, but looked solemn, and Alyssa was stunned. I think this kind of tension is what The News lacks. Makes people stop and think about the line between right and wrong. But the characters in "News" are basically straight-forward. We were right, you were wrong, and we have to brave all the hardships that you impose on us because you don't want to admit that we are right, because we are heroes. Even if we lose and lose money, we are right, there is a sense of tragic heroism at the end of the road. And the tune of roaring at every turn looked very enjoyable at first, but after a long time, I felt too self-conscious. It seems that if anything happens, he will only snarl his neck and roar to kill him. Seeing Jim say to Aunt May's daughter, please, admit that I'm right, I'm really speechless.
And there are no different voices in the whole team. From the news director to the anchor to the director, everyone has the same idea. The main point of the boss, mother and son at the beginning is the ratings. The ratings seem to be falling all the time, and the closer it gets to "justice", the worse it falls. It finally surged once, and it caused a big mess. Then someone who doesn't care about the news at all takes over. In fact, there are many points that can be explored about news. If you grasp it well, you can shoot a lot of things, and there should be no problem in shooting for several seasons. The director later responded to the questioning, saying that it was not to teach journalists how to do news, and this attitude was short-lived. why not? Through a TV series, set an industry benchmark and create an ideal news kingdom. Although peers can't see it, why not yearn for it. But the problem is, what comes out is neither a benchmark nor an ideal. Sorkin has always said that there is a deviation in the shooting, and I don't know where the deviation is.
I prefer a balanced attitude and rational thinking in problem solving. The news industry does need a strong, moral conscience, and the spirit of not giving in to five buckets of rice, but if there is nothing else, how can it go on. I don't know why, but at the end, even some of the tragic atmosphere has faded away. I don't know what is the most important reason for being cut, but I vaguely feel that this drama is exhausted. It's like running 800 meters by yourself, just starting to run wildly, and it's understandable to be exhausted later.
So my favorite is Don. Just at the beginning, he dared to yell at the male protagonist, and praised him if he didn't lose at all. Adhere to the principles, and be frank when wrong. The next time you should challenge the sword, it will still be the same. This character is actually very malleable, and can be the kind of character who is very assertive and competes with the male protagonist. but then. . . was recruited. Then, his main role became falling in love and acting cute. Although I like him and Sloan very much, but, kiss, you are a news person.
I think, if you particularly love a certain industry, you should try your best to do it well and change the deficiencies, instead of being cynical and shouting all day long. Trust me, shout this thing, once if it works then it works, if it doesn't then it doesn't. Even if it is really useful, it can't be used for a long time. Charlie, dear, you are an old man, and the whole drama is screaming, kiss, won't your blood pressure be high? . .
I also like Sloan very much. He has a high IQ, a good figure, a righteousness and kindness. (Japanese is good, children who are struggling to memorize words quickly worship). If you like don, you can attack and retreat and defend, and if you insist on the justice of the news, you dare to confront the boss. Originally, her sharp-edged setting allowed Mike to be trained well to show Mike's wisdom, sophistication, and talent. Unfortunately, this line was not written, because obviously Mike himself was still a child who needed training, and then the only one who could Charlie, who could hold him down, died.
