This series proved an interesting watch despite the fact that the whole news/media theme has been done many times before. This one has its own share of moralizing, but done in a way that's not its central focus. The plot starts to lose steam about midway through the series, things start to drag a bit, and the last episode seems a bit rushed to wind up things quickly. Not an easy feat given the number of subplots that were included. It appears they had some warning that there would not be a second season. The final episode is therefore a bit "wishy-washy" as everyone ends on a happy note.
It's not that realistic apart from the fact that some of the tabloids do publish more for entertainment value, and less for truth. That is becoming more apparent these days given the increasing number of lawsuits brought against the tabloids, where plaintiffs actually are awarded money. Does not say much for any association between tabloid journalism and the truth!
Overall, it is worth the watch as it does provide entertainment.
