Summer TV Surprises 2012: We didn't see this coming

There are some things that are just really fun to hate. Bret Easton Ellis' tweets, old guys who wear Ed Hardy t-shirts, people who run ten miles at the gym without sweating through their sports bras. For me, Olivia Munn is fun to hate. I have pretty much always found her delightfully obnoxious and overrated. But she's so good on "The Newsroom," even I can't criticize her. Her acting is subtle and nuanced, her character is smart and capable, and her chemistry with Thomas Sadoski snuck up on me in the most disarming way.

At least I sort of hate that I can't hate her anymore. I still have that to hold onto.
