NET NEWS reminds me of a modern-day "WKRP in Cincinnati". The parallels are there: Eddie Gaspar is Andy Travis, Marisol is Jennifer, Tom Stanton is Les Nessman. But make no mistake: this series is no rip-off. The nice balance of female and male characters, the truly ensemble cast, the rapid-fire dialogue... all are executed superbly. The character of Tom Stanton is able to pull off dementia jokes without offending- no easy task.
The biggest negative is the production quality, which I'd say is mediocre at best. Dodgy sound and shadow lighting distract from the strengths of the show (dialogue and character development).
I'm looking forward to Season 2!
