I am coming to the conclusion that Studio 60 will only be fully appreciated by those familiar with the life and work of Aaron Sorkin and able to recognise exactly how meta it is.
Interestingly there is already a noticable split developing inside the Sorkin fandom that I frequent: you're either squeeing uncontrollably or you think Sorkin is pulling a fast one, and that he's not actually grasping the medium he's writing about hard enough yet by the balls. I did like the second one far more than the first but after several watches I find myself wondering what it is that bothering me, because something is. Something is either missing or awry or simply *misplaced*: they've gotta fall on their faces soon I think...
