I couldn't get into breaking bad either. I just found the main character so unlikable... From episode one. He went from a wimp (not a normal guy..but a spineless character) to a "bad" guy, but just didn't have any personality. And... I couldn't suspend disbelief the plot holes were too much for me.

Arrested development seasons 1-3 were good. The latest season... Not so much lol.

I will have to check out Newsroom... I didn't know Sorkin had done another series that recently.
