3.0

maybe 2.5, idk
an interesting read, especially for someone like me who is very into tv and a lot of these specific tv shows, but ultimately i feel that it was much too soft on the "difficult" men making these shows, and severely overlooked the very real harm they caused to other human beings (particularly women, one showrunners domestic violence related arrests are given a mere couple of lines) whilst in pursuit of their vision. this book seems to take the stand that it was all worth it ~for the art~, and i think especially given the current movements that we're in, it so starkly contrasts with my own feelings on that topic. not mad i read it though
