What to Know

Critics Consensus

Thanks to focused storytelling and a more restrained tone, The Newsroom finds surer footing in its second season, even if it still occasionally succumbs to Aaron Sorkin's most indulgent whims.

Something about the tone suggests a slightly different show -- a "Newsroom" that doesn't take itself so seriously, and where we don't have to either. Go to Full Review Emily St. James AV Club 06/21/2018
