It’s a great show and it’s not dated at all really in the stuff it deals with etc as it’s always the same things happening in the World really.
But it is very dated in the fact that it’s portraying a president who only wants to do what is right, and everyone on the staff is honest and noble. Even the republicans are portrayed as somewhat reasonable.

British soldiers identified each other during D-Day landings by calling out “fish” - the response/password was “chips”. Anything else and they’d have had theirs.

Some of us above the surface
We all are. What are you not getting?
It’s actually a brilliant glimpse of his very real belief in American exceptionalism. Unintentional reveal on Sorkin’s part. The scales fall from his eyes a little bit for the newsroom. But only a bit
That was the yanks?
I’m not sure what the Canadians, the third country to storm the beaches used
Fuck the Brits, I’m an American
I liked newsroom, it is what it is, but it is some pile of preachy shite at the same time.
American exceptionalism

The Newsroom started on a level that could never be sustained, Jeff was class in it. But between that and Sunset, it was all downhill from TWW.

I liked sunset too. But I’d imagine if you are a yank all Sorkin is just one long ultra woke whine. Be like watching a series based on a Soc Dem Taoisech for an Irish person
