I don't know how to define this show. news? politics? I have always been neither concerned nor interested in politics. To put it bluntly, I am not pretending to be arrogant, but admitting my ignorance of this matter. Because I don't know, I can't comment. Even if I see more news reports, I can't remove the slightest suspicion in my heart. Is this true? The answer is I don't know.
Even in the US, this is a fictional TV station, a fictional TV show. But I think that's what a good TV show, a good movie, or a good book is all about. In this sense, as Will often said in it, the news we make is worth it as long as an audience will turn to rational thinking because of it. It's not about ratings, it's not about money, it's not about fame.
Many moments watching the film, I can't help wishing I was a news person, maybe that would make me feel more empathetic or excited. But calm down and think, if I am really one of them, will I be more disappointed and gloomy because of the current environment.
This is what a good TV series brings to us. Maybe it is not a real change for the time being, but it is enough to plant a seed in my heart.
It would be great if this was our country's TV series.
