Well I mean, she did decay pretty severely last season and she did have to have her face reconstructed…

Pretty good review! I like your point about the fact that we all know Michelle and Fanny will be teaching together so why not just get there, but I think for me… Hubbel's death at the end of the pilot was such a shock, it's like someone flicked a perfectly spinning top. The show's going to spin out of control for a…

And Kathryn Hahn most definitely did not throw a drink in his face. They were two separate incidents. I can get past all of the tiresome "Sorkin sucks so you should hate this show!" snark in these reviews, but when the reviewers make easy factual mistakes… it drives me nuts. This is a problem across many AVClub…

You're exactly right, @avclub-4a51fda79bbd54b4e7327dd6559b6c4d:disqus . This show isn't being treated fairly, at ALL. It should be reviewed independently of what Sorkin has done in the past. When you approach the show from the angle of "Sorkin has problems writing women," you're going to be looking for any little…

Read that article again and try to understand what he wrote. It was totally right; we're used to seeing shows in a "masculine" construction, and this one is distinctly feminine. You've got some reductio ad absurdum stuff going on; that wasn't his point at all.
