Review of Showrunners: The Art of Running a TV Show (2014) by Troy K — 15 Aug 2016

For those who love to see the behind-the-scenes of TV shows, "Showrunners" is a fascinating documentary that shows viewers the ins and outs of putting a show together. Featuring many famous and successful showrunners like J.

J. Abrams and Joss Whedon, the documentary gives you a look at their complex set of responsibilities and the hardships they endure. However, about halfway through you will wish they stop whining, and discuss more of what needs to be done to have a show come together and be successful.

This documentary is best suited for a college class who is learning the art of television and film, as opposed to a huge "Lost" fan who stumbled across this on Netflix because J.J. Abram's name is attached.
