RIP Eric Overmyer - Who wrote for your favorite show.

[DanOregon]

Did this guy ever write a show, or write for a show that sucked?

Beloved TV writer behind ‘Bosch,’ ‘The Wire’ and ‘Law & Order’ has died at 74

 

[Webster]

Treme is a show which has been forgotten and whose last season felt rushed, but was a top, top show. And Bosch was much better written and cast than similar shows of the same genre

I would watch "Bosch" over and over just for the music, especially the opening.

Also, belated RIP to another TV writer (of Red Dwarf fame)

Rob Grant obituary

People who are really good at writing for television earn my utmost respect. That's like writing two dozen screenplays a year coming up with unique plots and character development without getting stuck in a formula or falling into familiar tropes.

Dialogue writing in particular is a gift. Putting words in actor's mouths is a lot harder than you'd imagine, especially week after week.

I loved Man in the High Castle. Hard to believe "the man" ended up being "Fuchs" in Barry.
