There are countless awesome tv series with female showrunners at the helm. Thus far, I've only covered "Gilmore Girls" in its entirety, but there's more TK! "My Brilliant Friend" is next.
Directing and writing credits:
Written by Amy Sherman-Palladino, directed by Nick Marck. This is a quintessential ASP episode: tons of pop culture references, junk food, good music, an inappropriate gay joke, and a smidge of townie action. It's a somewhat frustrating episode, but one of my favorites from
Directing and writing credits:
The writing credits on this episode are a bit atypical for the series. John Stephens and Linda Loiselle Guzik are credited with the teleplay and Joan Binder Weiss with the story. Based on what I know, this would mean that Joan Binder Weiss came up with
Directing and writing credits:
Written by Daniel Palladino, directed by Michael Katleman. Dan Palladino loves the Stars Hollow townies, so it's no surprise he managed to work them into a Gilmore family heavy episode. I love all of the gossip surrounding Christopher and discussion over whether he looks
I have to be honest: I didn't love the way this season of "Top of the Lake" ended. It felt weirdly rushed and wasn't as visually stunning as Season 1 or some of the earlier Season 2 episodes. Because the vibe was lacking, I
Directing and writing credits:
ASP and Daniel Palladino wrote this episode. While I loathe most of the plot, I enjoy the writing and their use of the Stars Hollowites. Hollowians?
This episode was directed by Michael Katleman. He directed seven episodes of "GG" and some of my favorite
Directing and writing credits:
Written by Elaine Arata, directed by Bruce Seth Green. Both are new to me and have pretty underwhelming IMDB pages. Elaine Arata also wrote episode 1.20 of "GG," "P.S. I Lo...," along with a few episodes of "7th Heaven&
In this episode, the characters find out everything we already knew or strongly suspected:
* Miranda and Adrian are using a surrogate for their baby. Miranda thought she was a student, but she's Mahlee, the sick girl with the panda bear at Silk 41.
* Robin tells Miranda that Puss
Directing and writing credits:
Written by Amy Sherman-Palladino, directed by Lev L. Spiro. In an attempt to find an old interview with ASP, I stumbled across this behind the scenes documentary from Season 1 (it was a special feature on the DVDs). Check it out if you have 20 minutes
This episode was hard to watch. Puss is maybe one of the most despicable, vomit-inducing TV villains I've ever come across. If I encountered a man like him in the real world, I don't think I could retain my composure as well as Robin. I would
Directing and writing credits:
Written by Joan Binder Weiss, directed by David Petrarca. Binder Weiss also wrote "Love and War and Snow," which I watched last week. I wish I could find a solid interview with her somewhere or more information, but I poked around and came up
Today I saw a review on The Atlantic with this subheading: "Elizabeth Moss, Nicole Kidman, and Gwendoline Christie star in a returning series gone very wrong." Admittedly, I haven't finished the season yet, but after an episode like this one, I'm pretty shocked there&
In Season 1 of "Top of the Lake," Jane Campion worked with an Australian co-director named Garth Davis. He only directed one episode alone, but worked with Campion on 4 others. At the time, I was like, "Who the hell is this guy?" He was an
