I did it. I survived season 5 of Justified on my second watchthrough. Unrelated, I have never watched a Mobile Suit Gundam series in my life. But due to it being mentioned somewhere in some thread, I randomly started watching Iron-Blooded Orphans.

ShakeZula posted:The show isn't bad, very much a police procedural. The twist (we learn the identity of the victim and the killer at the start of each episode, and we get parallel storylines building up to and investigating the murder) is interesting and generally well-done. The twist works well in most cases as it allows the guest actors to really go to town instead of having to play it close to the vest to hide their guilt. All in all it's one of the very few procedurals I still watch and enjoy.

Okay so I finally just watched the first episode of Teachers. I mean I heard this was good, but sweet Christ this is amazing. This is weapons-grade comedy; would only barely be out of place airing next to Broad City.

I was avoiding it but that Walmart spoof show isn't too bad either. The wannabe rapper boyfriend doing the airhorn noises is like laser focused to make me laugh.

That dude in Superstore is YMMV a bit but drat if it isn't hilarious the dude is basically a liberal hippie (like only a few degrees from Ilana in Broad City) trapped in a white trash body.

How do writers' rooms work in TV dramas that have them? How are they organised? Do individual writers pitch stories which everyone works on. Do they all get together to thrash out what they want to do, then assign writers to particular episodes and send them off to write them? What's the process, generally? I've tried looking it up, but all I get on Google is the BBC Writersroom contest.

The answer is always going to be "it depends". But a general overview would be, the showrunner has an idea of the stories they want to tell in the episode. The writers will all collaborate to flesh out the episode, decide on story beats and episode arcs, then the head writer for the episode will go off and write the episode. First draft will be complete and they will all meet up to tear the script apart. Rinse and repeat. (this is all based off TV show podcasts I listen to. I have no actual experience)

There was a good show on Sundance called The Writers' Room that Jim Rash hosted where he talked to showrunners and writers about how they put their shows together. If you can track it down somewhere I'd recommend giving it a watch.

It varies totally wildly depending on the showrunner Aaron sorkin literally only used his room as google machines and living encyclopedias Matt weiner had to personally approve quite literally every single aspect of every line of dialog in the script as period or era appropriate on top of being character appropriate, and would end up rewriting submitting scripts so heavily that if he found himself rewriting more than a third of your scripts he would automatically place his name on written by byline no matter what, no ifs ands or buts Robert kirkman is infamous in the writers room where he's in open rebellion with the showrunner (which apparently is why they've gone through so many since amc apparently defaults to kirkman every time) and basically runs the room over the showrunner

Aaron Sorkin actually disputes some of the writing credits that other people have on The West Wing. He got into a spat with Rick Cleveland with credit over the Christmas episode about homeless veterans.

Sober posted:Usually it's just "written by" though, which assumes you pitched a story, the room was fine with it for the most part right up until shooting. I read that in completely the wrong tone for my first pass. "Everything in the writers' room was fine until the shooting started."

Tonight's episode of Not Safe with Nikki Glazer had Kyle Kinane and Kristen Schaal. It was filthy and hilarious and I had to rewind to hear lines over my own laughter. Track that down. "I'm worried the teens growing up with porn on their phones all the time are going to develop a fetish for men without faces."

Track that down. Not Safe is one of the best new shows on TV in general. That whole thing where they feed the lines to porn stars through an earpiece while they're loving is something that everyone should view.
