Showrunners: The Art of Running a TV Show (2014)

"Showrunners" is the first ever feature length documentary film to explore the fascinating world of US television showrunners and the creative forces aligned around them. These are the people responsible for creating, writing and overseeing every element of production on one of the United State's biggest exports – television drama and comedy series. Often described as the most complex job in the entertainment business, a showrunner is the chief writer / producer on a TV series and, in most instances, the show's creator. Battling daily between art and commerce, showrunners manage every aspect of a TV show's development and production: creative, financial and logistical.

I'm sure there are hours of outtakes of showrunners sharing gold, but the pieces Des Doyle compiled illustrate both the micro and macro concepts in a compelling narrative for both casual fans and industry insiders.

While very interesting, you will not learn the art of running a show. The conversations here are as if you were at a cocktail party of showrunners. You'll hear some nice anecdotes, but be as in the dark about showrunning as before you watch.

Doyle overstuffs some of the content, jumping through dozens of interviews without allowing us enough time to process them. Still, the director and editor John Murphy manage to give all the material a solid through-line, making the many voices echo into one underlying argument: Showrunning sucks, but it may be the greatest job in entertainment today.

Filled with tidbits and tales of the behind the scenes of some of the best TV shows of the past decade, but missing that heart and soul that would elevate it to more than the fluff piece it basically is.
