In the maelstrom of a commercial television newsroom in 1986, Dale Jennings is a diligent young reporter, desperate to become a newsreader. Helen Norville is a notoriously ‘difficult' star newsreader determined to build credibility. Paired together over three months, Dale and Helen will cover an extraordinary chain of news events — from the shock of the Challenger explosion, to the hype of Halley's Comet, to the complexities of the AIDS crisis. From messy beginnings, a deep bond is formed that will upend their lives and transform the very fabric of the nightly news bulletin. This is a story of a grand, unconventional relationship in a world on the cusp of change. |

Can’t wait for this to return. Stellar performances & cast.
The first episode of season 3 is up.
A well delivered series, the stand out story line gem is the “corporate wife” Evelyn Walters, acted by Marg Downey. This ambitious “housewife” mingled in with the sexism and bigotry of the work place,kept the series unflinching and edgy.
shame this is the 3rd and final series of this show. could easily watch a series 4 of this with all the events in the 90s
Loved the show. The 2 main actors were amazing and it really felt like the 80s era
I really like the show. Good cast and storyline. One nit-picky annoyance: Anna Torv’s hair looks soooo much better natural, than that teased nightmare the studio does to her hair. lol. I know the timeline is the 80s…I still don’t like. ;-)
Excited for this show to start tomorrow
