The show is ending with a total of 25 episodes over the course of its three seasons and Sadoski said to HuffPost Live, "Sad to say it [to] the critics, but no, you don't have any impact. You can't."
Sadoski added, "You want to challenge people. You want to have discussions started around the work that you're doing. As an artist, that's all that you want," while talking about the media attention The Newsroom earned.
He concluded, "People have various different opinions about the show and I respect all of them, frankly. I really appreciate when people are big fans of the show. That's nice. [But] there's been a lot of criticism of the show. Some of it is earned. Some of it is justifiable and justified. I don't shy away from that."
The Newsroom is currently airing its final season on HBO at 9 p.m. ET on Sundays. The next episode is called Oh Shenandoah. The last episode is called What Kind of Day Has It Been.
