Emily Nussbaum of The New Yorker writes that Aaron Sorkin‘s “Studio 60” was “a show that people loved to hate-watch, because it was bad in a truly spectacular way — you could learn something from it, about self-righteous TV speechifying and failed satire and the dangers of letting a brilliant showrunner like Sorkin run loose to settle all his grudges in fictional form.” Nussbaum isn’t sure whether this assessment applies to “Smash,” which will be kicking off its second season soon. Well, I’m certain. “Smash,” along with Sorkin’s current program, “The Newsroom,” are the most “hate-watched” shows on television.
