A bit heavy-handed in places (with Messages), a bit cute in others (with Characters), but The Newsroom is fast-moving, well-acted and appealing - on a number of levels - enough to overcome those flaws. This second season is structured a bit differently from the first, and for the better, and each of the main characters flicks quickly to life - it's hard not to like the ones who we're supposed to like.
