Is anyone still watching this?

Just watched the Bin Laden episode. It was handled in a really strange way. I know America reacted differently than we did to it, but even so, a speech that went along the lines of "America has had some dark chapters in our history, but we also have days that glow and this is one of them."

I'm no leftyleftson by any means, but this whole episode was just ugly. At times it bordered on 'Independence Day' levels of patriotism. Considering the fact it started with what seemed like a stark rejection of patriotism, and the notion of the network being apolitical compared to NBC and Fox, all of that was pretty much thrown out the window with this.

Anyone got further than this yet? Does it improve or does it descend even more?
