Just watched tbe first 2 episodes and have a splitting headache from being subjected to 6 people endlessly shouting at each other.

Sorkin is better than this.

This is way better than the Social Network.

No it isn't. And West Wing was on a higher level altogether.

The Social Network was rubbish

I managed four episodes. The hectoring, and Emily Mortimer, were deeply annoying.

So disappointing. I've been looking for something substantial and compelling to watch since I finished WW a couple of weeks ago and I thought this might have been it.

Before WW I watched The Americans, Mad Men, The Knick, and Boardwalk Empire, all sublime, so I've been rather spoilt. I'm going to try House of Cards I think.

I highly recommend "House of Cards." Spacey is brilliant.

Emily Mortimer [...] deeply annoying.

Despite being almost finished with season 1, I haven't paid enough attention to the credits to know who she was on the show. But I guessed who you meant and guessed right.

I thought I was the only one thinking this was a shouting match. Couldn't get past the 4th episode.
