Sorkin is actually regressing. This whole series was written and acted as if a first-time screenwriter was still adapting stageplays and somehow ended up directing the actors to TELL the story instead of shooting a film that SHOWS it. All the exposition is delivered by hammy, kitschy upper westside dialogue. It's bad enough with the hokey polemics but when he does it with the romance it's cringe-worthy.

I can't remember ever having more of a love-hate relationship with a show. I mean, this has got to be one of the most pretentious shows ever created, and I would never recommend it to anyone. I can't think of any show that is more up its own ass than this one. However, I did end up limping along with it for three seasons, and I think somehow I did actually enjoy it overall.
