Aroview: HBO and Aaron Sorkin team up for this quick-thinking workplace drama set behind the scenes at a fictional cable news network.

Ambitious for tracking real world current affairs and political movements from the recent past, the series is cerebral and argumentative, but like Sorkin's most famous creation, THE WEST WING, also suffers from an underlying smugness - no concern of the screenwriter/showrunner's most devoted fans, of course.

Season One: ten episodes across four discs.

Season Two: nine episodes across three discs
