@AtlCane09 FX Network: Atlanta & Snowfall. They got that on lock.

@zuttermeister I love Snowfall

@AtlCane09 One thing that honestly bothers me about Screenwriting are the completely arbitrary rules. Professional writers break the rules that beginner, novice, or even adept screenwriters are expected to follow and it makes no sense.

@Official_Oden 100% agree.

@AtlCane09 Somebody said it. I honestly can't get through the first episode of that show. Have the pilot pdf too. Not every "classic" will appeal to all writers. We need something we enjoy watching in order to enjoy reading it/studying. I know plenty who love the show & I agree w you.

@JakaylaGWrites To me it's not even about liking it, I'm just tired of every single site, "guru", webinar, etc., using it to teach from. Y'all really can't think of other examples? I get that the structure is easy to follow, but still.

@AtlCane09 The Wire is classic with a string pilot that should be held high in the same regard as Breaking Bad .

@MisterAdkins The Wire pilot does get a lot of respect too.

@brittany_darby Lol. I am tired. They only use it because it perfectly fits the blueprint they try to sell you on. Scripts aren't one size fits all.

@AtlCane09 Thank. You!

@mariateresag Queen Sugar, Queen of the South, Snowfall, Bigger, Good Trouble, Love Is (canceled), Insecure, Never Have I Ever. I haven't watched Pose, but I've heard so many great things about it. I watched the early seasons of Greenleaf

@AtlCane09 Say it again for the people in the back in the cheap seats 👏🏾👏🏾

@AtlCane09 Also just because Breaking Bad does the cut to “three weeks earlier” doesn’t mean everything has to

@AtlCane09 Oop

@lavenderscared Yeah, that's a solid pilot.

@AtlCane09 Yes. I’ve said this before. And not just cishet shows either.
