The West Wing

[NolaNole9]

I watched the first couple seasons a few years ago, and I have recently started the series over from the beginning. Dont get me wrong..I think its a really good show, but some of the dialogue is completely annoying. Like when each character enters the room and says the exact same thing that was previously mentioned before they entered. Sorkin's dialogue on The Newsroom became increasingly annoying as that series progressed also. Does this annoy anyone else or is it just me?

Yup best show ever, dialogue picks up after first several episodes, until rob Lowe leaves then it spirals into retirement

I tried the Wire and found it TERRIBLY slow-moving and average,at best. I didn't get the hype.

Sorkin's dialogue is always both good and bad. Good in that it's witty and quick. Bad in that it's entirely unbelievable. No one talks like that let alone EVERYONE from janitor on up.

This is exactly what I'm talking about. I never said it was a bad show. In fact, it's one of my favorites.

My thoughts exactly. Molina ruined the show lol. Rob's exited also was around time Sorkin left and John Wells was on his own
