HBO Wants You To Watch Aaron Sorkin’s ‘The Newsroom’ Pilot For Free!

HBO is doing everything in their power to promote the hell out of Aaron Sorkin’s return to TV…oh wait, it’s not TV, it’s HBO. Starting today, they are offering the pilot episode of The Newsroom for free on HBO.com, Youtube, DailyMotion, and TV.com. They will also offer it as a free podcast on iTunes.

I watched it last night and absolutely loved it. I’m a big Sorkin fan, so I was naturally bound to enjoy it. Some people will find the show to be a tad preachy in parts, but it’s worth checking out. The show is excellently cast and Jeff Daniels is fantastic.

The show stars Jeff Daniels, Emily Mortimer, Dev Patel, Alison Pill, Olivia Munn, and Sam Waterston. The pilot was directed by Greg Mottola, director of Superbad, Adventureland, and Paul. There’s also a cameo (voice) appearance by a certain actor in the pilot. See if you can figure out who.
