Who is watching it? Whats your opinion on it. Just found it now, looked at the first 10 minutes and that opening speech rocked

Also a new viewer - great so far - script above average for an American show - enjoy the topicality even if we are a few years behind - great show so far

It rocks. Both the show and that episode. I regularly find myself pausing and heading to wikipedia etc (sometimes only returning to the show an hour or what later) to read up some background to the stories covered in the show.

Enjoying it too. Opening speech/scene was a deal clincher for me too although I know another forumite who watched the 1st 15 minutes and decided it was boring!!

Quite intensive and intellectual so one needs to pay attention to follow the plot. Not the sort of show you can switch off to and do other things while it plays in the background.

It was good for 10 mins, then the rest of the next two episodes were utter crap. I couldn't watch any more than that.

I grab them with http://put.io and then setup subscription feeds with http://showrss.karmorra.info/ I can choose HD or SD from that RSS feed.

Get lost with Sorkin's speed of dialogue?? Problem with TV these days is most shows have to cater for people with the attention span of a gnat...

See, the thing with some people is that they think that if they watch they think is clever, then someone who doesn't think it's clever must be stupid.

Imo, Sorkin's dialogue is ****ty, the tone is absolutely up and down, and the only redeeming quality of the two episodes I watched was the acting.

Just a bit of advice, don't be an arsehole for no reason, you might actually learn something.
