 It's not awful, but it's already very dated just in terms of writing and style. It's the best Sorkin show, but it's still a Sorkin show. I'd rather watch West Wing than the Newsroom, which is unbelievable garbage. West Wing is at least a mostly-competent drama. But frankly, if you want punchy dialogue and character moments, just watch Gilmore Girls instead.

 In general I don't like what Sorkin does, but West Wing launched him for a reason. It's not a bad show by any means. But it was part of that wave of late-90s/early-2000s TV dramas, when TV was just starting to get big budget and serious, but before that really took off.
