The seventy-fifth TV show: #560 Sports Night
I believe this might be the first Aaron Sorking show that I've fully watched, and in a way that did not disappoint. The writing is strong, and clear, not fully natural but close to it. There are the infamous Sorkin monologues. Not everyone pulls them off and I felt they got a bit preachy sometimes, but there aren't too many of those, and outside it, the dialogue works well.
The great cast helps a lot with that. Josh Charles and Peter Krause, the on air talent of the fictional Sports Night, have amazing chemistry that shows throughtout. Banter, discussions, but no forced conflict, but it seems like they get along effortlessly. Felicity Huffman as the main female lead pulls off her role incredibly well and anchors everything else going on around her.
It's funny, not forcing the dramatic moments but addressing plenty. There are faults with it, but on the whole it's such an enjoyable time that it's a shame it ended this soon, while promising so much more for the following Sorkin series.
