It's definitely worth seeing. It was always on my list of films to watch, and TCM ran it, so I finally got around to it.

I should've seen it sooner.

What initially piqued my interest in it, aside from being a film from the '70s (my favorite decade for film), was that it was partly inspired by the on-air suicide of Christine Chubbuck.

Network is similar in a way to my favorite film, Privilege, in that both were considered to be outlandish at the time, viewed as slight possiblities of the future but are very relevant and true today.

Network is operatic, but entirely enthralling. The writing, directing, and acting are as perfect as I've seen from a film in quite some time.
