About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a smart, character-driven look at TV news and messy workplace relationships, with humor and bite; Not for you if you need big laughs, a tight runtime, or a neatly wrapped ending like The Big Sick.

Pros: sharp dialogue; newsroom energy; strong performances | Cons: overlong runtime; romance feels distracting; ending feels abrupt
