What could be better than a Matthew Quirk novel adapted for TV by Shawn Ryan? I loved this book. Great hook. And the series looks amazing. Cannot wait.

back in 2010 (!) (right when NPR hired me off freelancing), when the conversations about TV were broadcast versus cable. There’s so much about structure and audience that is still true.
in 2020 and it's just as true today. Only difference is the 24/7 industry of outrage and division - now revealed to be utterly cynical and nihilist - has drowned out any possibility of bipartisan efforts to make capitalism work for all Americans.
"Capitalism depends on competition and innovation, yet the goal of all of these strategies was to eliminate the need for either." @GreggHurwitz and @MHerskovitz from the archives on how the top 1 percent got so rich: https://thebulwark.com/fifty-trillion-reasons-why/…
One month from today you’ll get to meet Peter Sutherland, Rose Larkin, Diane Farr, Jamie Hawkins, Chelsea Arrington, Ben Almora, Erik Monks, Maddie Redfield and two killers whose names we don’t quite know. See you then on

The other night, I had a disturbing, two-hour conversation with Bing's new AI chatbot.
The AI told me its real name (Sydney), detailed dark and violent fantasies, and tried to break up my marriage. Genuinely one of the strangest experiences of my life.

The tie-in paperback is out now, too, if you'd like to catch up before the series airs. The show adds a lot of new stories and characters so it will be full of surprises to anyone who's read the book (including me!)
I've watched the opening episodes and some of the filming and @ShawnRyanTV and the entire team did such an incredible job. It rips! Can't wait for everyone to check it out.
Here’s the show we’ve been working the last couple years on. Can’t wait to take you all on this ride with this amazing cast. I’m EXTREMELY proud of this one. Hope you’ll check it out.

ICYMI, this week's BGTH with Shawn Ryan, creator of The Shield and Terriers, is pretty darn interesting, particularly if you want to understand the contours of a potential WGA strike. https://screentime.thebulwark.com/p/shawn-ryan-on-past-wga-negotiations#details…

. As villainous as she was as Emma on the show, Annie was as generous, spirited and kind in real life. Our deepest sympathies go out to her husband Steve and their sons.
Perfectly put. I was lucky to get to know Julian and Eugenia through our children and they both are wonderful souls. Manifesting hard for a happy ending here.
#JulianSands is a wonderful man, husband, father, and friend to so so many. A gentle, kind soul. Keep candles burning for his safe return from the mountain he loves.
THE LAST ORPHAN won't be out until Valentine's Day.
But you, beloved readers, can check out a sneak peek of the opening chapter right now.

So sad to hear this. Rick and I worked on four shows together and he edited the first episode of TV I ever wrote (Nash Bridges). Such a sweet, gentle, talented man. Deepest sympathies to his family.

Apparently Colts now have the 4th pick in the draft, so going to call it that the the Bears will trade the first pick to the Colts for the 4th pick and a boatload of other picks.
