Amid all those speeches, there's beauty, passion, heart and brains in The Newsroom. There's also humor, even more than ever in Sunday's opener.
With the end in sight, this is a faster paced, more focused, less annoying Newsroom than in the first two seasons.

Quite possibly one of the greatest shows ever made. This is an entertaining look at a group of the closest thing reality allows to superheroes. The characters are believable, while also being inspiring. It was a wild ride through an emotionally charged alternate history where a group of people decided that Americans should be informed.

SEASON 3
The Newsroom es sin duda una de las mejores series tv de los últimos años y todos sus capítulos del primero al último son una obra maestra con momentos inolvidables.
Los personajes son fantásticos y todos los actores están geniales, los diálogos son inteligentes, y los guiones cuentan historias de máxima actualidad vinculadas a noticias reales recientes y todo contado a una velocidad de vértigo. La tercera y última temporada es al igual que las anteriores una genialidad, y en tan sólo 6 capítulos Aaron Sorkin es capaz de desarrollar de forma magistral una trama alrededor de temas del mayor interés, y no sólo eso sino que también es capaz de cerrar de forma magistral todas las líneas argumentales. Una serie para guardar entre mis favoritas de todos los tiempos.

SEASON 3
A still pointed but more controlled take on the crossroads of media and culture, The Newsroom is now much closer to the show that many hoped it would be.
The Newsroom has never been entirely sure about its intentions, failing to carve out a unique identity. While a certain haphazard uncertainty may be a fitting quality for a series about our own fractured political and media landscape, and where the actions of good people are paralyzed by the need for content production, Sorkin's own sputtering pen suggests that such imprecision was not his aim.
[The two plotlines] provides plenty of rich material for Sorkin on both fronts, and we can be sure he’s got plenty to say. The hope is that he will restrain himself enough so the rest of us can distill it into something we can digest.
Based on the first few episodes, Season 3 of The Newsroom has a few signs of life, notably a timely storyline about ACN getting spun off its parent company. The actors are, as always, doing their best with one-dimensional characters.
The Newsroom is as insufferable as ever.
The Newsroom is the best series that I have seen on TV for years. The scripts are insightful, the acting superb, and the characters believable. I am so disappointed that it has ended after only three seasons. There are so many ways that this series could have gone, and the characters are far from being completely developed. The last episode opened up a whole new world of possibilities, and it is too bad that these could not be fully explored. The Newsroom introduced me to Emily Mortimer, a real beauty and a superb actress. One reviewer called her "our English rose," and he/she was spot on. I look forward to seeing Emily again in movies and other HBO series. Thanks to HBO for being willing to confront so many controversial issues in such a forthright way.

SEASON 3
Outstanding writing. The story lines are well organized and present varied views on interesting and important topics. Kudos to the cast for handling the snappy dialog so effectively. The themes covered in the show are thought provoking, yet poignant and sometimes unnerving. But, if Mr. Sorkin's intent was to raise the level of awareness and insight some healthy dialog on critical public issues, then I conclude he has achieved his goal with me.
You have to pay attention to every minute of this show or you will miss a piece of dialog that is very pointed and key to the remainder of the shows plot.
I am extremely dismayed that the show will end after 3 seasons and that the third season will only consist of six episodes. I great loss for people seeking a higher level of entertainment then the majority of mindless crap that is aired every week across 500 plus channels of expensive fiber and cable.

SEASON 3
The Newsroom's greatest season by far, as the characters we come to know, love, and understand begin the rest of their lives and the series reaches a predictable, though satisfying, conclusion.

SEASON 3
I like the story lines for this show, and I think the acting is great. But, I'm turned off by all the smooth pat dialogue delivered in a condescending tone. All the characters are portrayed as "fighting the good fight" with unquestionable moral integrity. They all share a solid moral compass which guides their every move. When they do make a mistake, they instantaneously recover and move to an even higher moral level. As a morality play it fits the bill, but I would rather see realistic grayness in decisions, actions and opinions.
