I have loved pretty much everything I’ve ever watched that Aaron Sorkin has written (including Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip). I find the intensity of the mile a minute dialogue thrilling and I enjoy the fact that you are forced to pay attention. I’ve never analysed his writing beyond that so this was a really interesting read. What you described at the start of this article might actually be my perfect paid bonus feature! Well played 👏🏼

The BONO OF SCREENWRITING. Yes 🤣🤣🤣 Consider my appetite for the paywalled watchalong content well and truly whetted! And I am indeed one of those people who finds the dialogue in The West Wing 🫨🫨🫨

Great piece. I now want to research that film. I’ve tried a couple of times to watch The Wedt Wing, which people rave about, but find it too syrupy. Does it start to get good in the second season?
