So excited to teach this lab again and dive into different worlds in time and space! Death by Lightning debuted on Netflix as the #1 show globally and top 10 most binged in the US. The Gilded Age continues to be one of HBO's most successful series, getting 5 million US views for the season 3 finale. Boots, set in the recent but not-too-recent past is hugely popular with a young audience. The industry is turning around, but you need to start working on your series NOW if you want to be ready when the pendulum swings!
