The valentines day episode was a giant piece of ****.

I enjoyed 5/1 on to the Season Finale. First half actually sucked worse IMO

There is not one character I can fully tolerate. All of them, to some degree, get on my nerves, especially "Mac". Hire a new producer, please!

Mac is annoying I don't know why they pass her off as American..

Will carries the show, his tangents are amazing and I like how they have started to get into his personal life, the show has potential moving forward unfortunately Sorkin won't leave his liberal bull out of it. Also don't know why they try to paint Maggie as some hot chick....she's not, the guys should be lining up to bang Sloan, not her.

I watched the whole season in like 2 days, Some cringeworthy stuff obviously but overall i like the show.

sounds to me like you just accidentally admitted to liking a song from a band you dislike.

I'm glad other people can see through the writing. I've just finished the 5/1 episode, and the writing started to irk me after the second episode. Tries too hard to be funny/witty and intelligent.

For whatever reason, I'll continue to watch. It's a nice show, and as a journalist I'm drawn to it, but there are some serious flaws in it.
