The Newsroom.

What I can`t stand about myself at times (though not all the time, it`s 50/50 really) is my ability to associate everything with everything. I can associate songs with people and situations (as I was saying in the previous post). I can associate myself with a character in a book or a movie. Even with real people..and sometimes this ability does not help me to live my life as I want to. A few months ago I came across the TV show that`s called 'The Newsroom'. The TV show itself is a masterpiece! It`s funny, it`s smart, it`s realistic as hell, it represents a lot of different types of people and relationships etc. It`s amazing, really. To be honest, it`s probably one of the best TV shows I`ve watched in my whole life. The upsetting fact about this TV show, or should I say about my relationship with this TV show, is that I never got to watch the last episode of it. The thing is, this show is about a bunch of journalists who works on national television (the journalist`s job is showed SO GREAT by the way. I don`t know if it`s accurate or not, but it was amazingly showed on the screen. It felt real). At the time I started watching the show I also started attending the course for journalists-beginners, and somehow (quite logically) my mind connected these two things into one, and I thought that maybe someday I can be like those people on the screen (like Maggie or MacKenzie, for instance). The show inspired me so much and got me going with that course of mine, and got me so pumped about my future...up until the point I realized it wasn`t really what I wanted to do. Mainly because the journalist`s job is not actually about the writing (as many people like me think it is), it`s mostly about getting your facts straight, and getting the latest news, and be in the middle of the history making, I`d say.. and blah blah blah. I`m not saying it`s an awful job, no. Just not my cup of tee, I guess. So I got really stressed and upset about failing yet once again in my life, and after awhile I realized that I can`t keep watching this TV show, because whenever I watch it I start feeling stressed and sad. Because I start thinking that I failed on my course. So there`s that. And this is SO unfortunate because I literally have one episode to finish, and I love the story and characters IMMENSELY, and I just feel so sad that I can`t bring myself out of that situation and finish the series. 

Anyway, I actually started to write this post to tell all the people out there who will ever read this to WATCH THE NEWSROOM because it`s fabulous! I`m not joking. It made me laugh hysterically, it made me cry my eyes out, it made me realize a thing or two about life. It basically made me emotional on pretty much every level. There are a few descent love stories and ships as well, which make my heart melt even now as I`m thinking about them. And the cast is just so unbelievably good I can`t even tell you! I don`t think there is another TV show like that, at least not that I know of. I want to say that it`s unique in a sense. Ugh... I really hope that someday I will be able to let go whatever it is that prevents me from watching the last episode, and I will finally watch it!

Also one more thing about the cast... I loved absolutely each and every one of them, but I just need to say how much I loved Dev Patel! I first saw him in Skins and I wasn`t head over heels about him. I mean he was okay, and Anwar was a pretty good character, but that was all for me. And here...oooh let me just tell you how amazing Dev is in this show. Although he doesn`t get a lot of screen time, and he`s not really the main figure of the plot, he`s the character without whom the show just wouldn`t be the same. His humour is one of the best on the show, and whenever he is on the screen you know something cool is gonna happen, it has to. I love how hardworking his character is, and how he believes in himself and thinks he can make a real difference, and more importantly how he wants to make a difference. And also his storyline in the final season is REALLY GOOD, and I didn`t get to see how it ended because it`s all in the final episode and the thought is killing me!

So yeah, the whole cast is incredible, and every character has something that I loved about them, but I just wanted to acknowledge Dev Patel here. I guess a lot of people still see him as young Anwar, which he`s definitely not.

All in all, I highly recommend this TV show to anyone and everyone who loves descent love stories and character storylines, great characters of different ranges, who have some descent reasons to be the way they are, journalism, amazing humour, different kinds of relationships, rather then only romantic ones, plot that is connected to our reality (almost every episode is connected to a real situation, for example 9/11, killing of Osama Bin Laden, Fukushima disaster etc.)

Let me know if you watched and liked it so we can fangirl about it together, or if you didn`t like it and why? I`m curious to know x
