This post should be upvoted, as I think writers are way more important for a show to be good than any famous and awarded actor.

The writers I consider the best are:
- Jonathan Nolan (Person of Interest, Westworld);
- Joss Whedon (Buffy, Angel, Firefly, Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.);
- Michael Schur (Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Parks and Recreation, The Office (US), The Good Place);
- Damon Lindelof (Lost, The Leftovers, Watchmen);
- David Lynch (Twin Peaks);
- Ronald D. Moore (Battlestar Galactica (2004), For All Mankind, Roswell, Star Trek: DS9);
- Vince Gilligan (Better Call Saul, Breaking Bad, The X-Files);
- David Simon (The Wire, Treme, The Deuce, We Own This City);
- Bryan Fuller (Heroes, Hannibal, Pushing Daisies);
- Russel T. Davies (Doctor Who, Torchwood, It's a Sin);
- Noah Hawley (Fargo, Legion);
- Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Fleabag, Killing Eve);
- Steven Moffat (Doctor Who, Sherlock).

Sorry for the long list.

not saying it wouldn't be possible because anything is possible in these horrid entertainment years we're living, but even if that were true, what purpose would such a desperate strategy serve? The only ones getting something out of it would be people like Nerdrotic and CD

I'll never understand why anyone would so jeopardize their hard-won, odds-against-success careers like this. I know, I know, the heart wants what the heart wants, but there were so many ways these two could have handled this, and they chose the worst option, a lose-lose for everyone including themselves, their families, their show.

No, because you made it up.

>You didn't correct jack mate

I did.

>And yes I laughed during Grant's cameo

Im glad him opening a door tickled your funny bone, how your imaginary family didnt wake up from you chuckling is a mystery.

> It is no coincidence that the best parts were Hawke's and Grant's performances

The talk of the town.

>If not for the cast list

Screenplay.

>Not as unanimous praise as you think.

Never said it was 100% (few films are), but it was a critical success.

> 'easily available info'

Google.

>for appallingly mediocre entertainment

Critically acclaimed.

>There are people that have the bar set a bit higher than that.

Ben Shapiro, lol.
