Mad Men is great but it's hard to relate to the characters if you are not an office worker yourself. It is also one of those shows where there will be story arcs that bore the hell out of you but give it time and you will be hooked.

Newsroom has got to be one of the most uneven series I have seen in a long time. The main character is so magnetic while each and everyone of the supporting cast seems to be filling up stereotypes. As much as I love Emily Mortimer, she is overacting.
