Liberal viewers: a welcome return to the wit of Aaron Sorkin, and a welcome shot to the chops of the 24-hour news channels! Conservative viewers: liberal claptrap! Reviewers: a show with potential, but for the misogynistic undertones and irritating fact that every “source” is an old roommate. This has already been renewed for a second season, so hopefully they can make that course correction after this first season finale. Tonight, “Mac is shaken by a potentially devastating revelation from gossip columnist Nina Howard. Meanwhile, Sloan mulls a new job opportunity; Neal’s Internet alias could prevent a catastrophe; and Will, Mac, and Charlie confront Leona and Reese during a volatile lunch meeting.”

Episodes, 10:30 p.m., Showtime

Season two finale. “Merc threatens to leave Jamie for Carol when he discovers that his wife and Matt had an affair; and Sean is devastated when Beverly turns up at an awards dinner with a date.”
