Ahmad Harhash Ahmad Harhash is an Indian Television actor debut TV pavitra rishta as Atul Shahane in 2009 Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/28/21 Full Review Audience Member An informative and insightful documentary with fascinating interviews with some famous showrunners. I have always felt I knew what the role of showrunner means and what they are responsible for, but this provided a further education into what is no doubt an exhausting yet rewarding role. What makes this stand out is the openness of the showrunners and explaining, not just some day to day hardships, but also studio interference and how that influences their decisions and creative vision. There is further insight into the hierarchy on a show which is made more enjoyable by the shows covered. We meet the unseen heroes of some well known TV shows, but also some well know showrunners discussing their process. Not a groundbreaking documentary, but an enjoyable and informative one.

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.

Its for the true film fan and those desiring to enter the film industry at the studio levels. Being a novice filmmaker I really enjoyed seeing these people and hearing there stories. I will most likely never be a show runner but it was fun to get a peak into the minds of some of our favorite television production teams. Highly recommend.
