Since its première, in 2022, “Slow Horses”—Apple TV’s fast-paced espionage drama about a division of MI5 where the screwups and sluggards end up—has become “a treasure to those in the know, and a nonentity to outsiders,” Inkoo Kang writes. The show, starring Gary Oldman and Jack Lowden, boasts nearly two dozen Emmy nominations, and a few wins, but has never reached the breakout status of “Ted Lasso” or “Severance.” Read why Kang thinks the underrated program is the best on Apple TV:newyorkermag.visitlink.me/Eo…

Mike and Pam have been DIPPED.
Ellison is not preserving Warner Bros. as a legacy management fiefdom. He may preserve Warner as a brand/maison, but he does not appear interested in preserving the people currently running it.
Second, Digger now looks even more like the final

Absolutely. I always tell me clients, there are only two things you can control: the quantity and quality of your writing.

Some collaborations change the trajectory of your entire career. Developing Leo Sardarian’s BlackList script, NICHOLAS, was one of them.

Hot Take — you get better reads on paper scripts.
1. Scrolling on an iPad is a passive action which leads to passive reading.
2. Feeling where you are in a script based on the pages immerses your reader in the movie.
3. Reading on paper separates you from your phone/work.

Hard to see this as a happy ending even it's framed that way. Seems pretty grim to me but I do hope he's happier now. It all comes down to supply and demand. Too many writers, not enough jobs

There are like 9 different losers at this coffee shop with their Apple laptops open, working on their dumb little scripts. I, however, am cool and working on a good one.

An excellent quote from Steven Sorderbergh in Slate:
"The hardest thing in the world is to be good and clear, because sometimes in order to be clear, you become obvious. And when you’re obvious, you’re not good. So that is a lifelong sort of process, figuring out on each project, given its intentions and its demands, how to make it good and clear. Being obscure is easy. It’s easy to make something that is elliptical and sort of difficult to grasp and sort of fob it off on being artistic, and if you don’t understand it, that’s your problem."
Anyone writing genre deals with this every day-- especially if it's trying to be more. Very well put.
