The Sunrise Story

The way we watch television has changed. It's changed so much that it's often hard to keep up with it. With the cost of cable skyrocketing, I decided to look into other options.

Some of my favorites shows I've binged on include:  The Newsroom: Anything, and I mean ANYTHING, that Aaron Sorkin is...
