I haven't seen this episode, which people are saying is broader and better, but I'll give my thoughts anyway based on the first season.

The politics and morals aren't really the issue for me. None of that matters if Sorkin would just remove the sexism and make the dialogue more smart and with more wit. That's my issue with the series so far. The old-fashioned ideals in a bad sense (the comments on men and the portrayal of the women) have made me…

It's the way the show handles the didacticism and warmth that some people (I personally wouldn't go that far) find it embarrassing. I don't believe people are saying it's inherently bad because of the topics or tone itself. Or I could be completely wrong, but that's how I feel anyway. I take issue with the way it's…

I expect better from Sorkin. I'm not laying this all onto you personally but people keep bringing this up as some catch-all defence, as if Sorkin can't write his own style poorly. In my opinion, that's the main issue that people have with the show. People can find his schtick interesting (or, for some people, tolerate…

Yeah, one of the few things I remember from the series. I remember thinking it was incredibly stupid. He spent an episode running around trying to remember this guy who always did this certain thing and wore a hat backwards and some other crap.

I went into the series from the very beginning hoping it was Boston Legal at a frat mixer. Severely disappointed.

Yes, those are the categories, hence "legal dramas like…" and "legal dramedies like…" Your comprehension skills seem to be in working order as the shows themselves were not actually being compared against each other.

Not this but he was behind Mark-Paul Gosselaar's previous legal drama on TNT, Raising the Bar.

Oh damn, I thought this was the brilliant Australian television series…

For me, it's not that watchable at all. It had it's moments, and for a show about a presidential campaign it was decent, but as The West Wing it was horrible. It became the Josh Lyman and Matt Santos campaign show and every now and then the writers would remember the series name and go "oh shit, there are those other…
