Wow!
I'd never even heard of this show when I took it out from Netflix just because I found it searching for Aaron Sorkin. 4 episodes in and it's great, so far.
I've basically loved everything I've seen from Sorkin and this does not disappoint.
The classic opening scene (sorry about the subtitles):
What a way to hook you and reel you in!

For some reason I've lost interest in 30 Rock. Maybe success leads to mediocrity or at least, repetitiveness. Studio 60/SSS will stay fresh.

Originally posted by sonhouseYes, nicely done. Not sure about the math, but that's more about my math skills. Not much hand waving, like in most procedurals. It looks like they had some good math consultants. We only saw it on Netflix. Is it over?

Originally posted by JS357Yep, cancelled. Of course. We liked it. End of story. If you want to know if a show will last, let us watch it, if we liked it, it's doomed.

Originally posted by sh76sorkin is head and shoulders above the rest. Studio 60 was excellent. Unfortunately, writing and quality actors alone don't cut it with today's audience.
