Incredibly touching

The last 10 minutes of this episode was probably the best sequence that I have ever watched in any TV series. The music, the acting, the series of events and all the other small things were simply amazing.

After a considerable amount of time spent on seeing how the personal lives of the characters shaping up, the connection to the real event was incredibly well executed. The song in the background played a big role at that.

I have just recently started watching The Newsroom for the second time and it has been more enjoyable than the first time. Witnessing the real events in a fictional environment is a unique experience and this show is most likely the best at that. I'm glad that it exists.
