CGI didn't make stuntmen (and others on set) obsolete. AI won't do so either. It's a tool, albeit an influential one so it will cause changes. Good and bad but changes.
I don't know if anyone else is watching this series, but it is incredibly written, directed, and produced. The storyline is very thought provoking, and the twists in the plot are really well done. Anybody else watching this series?

He gave it to me straight, concise and quickly understood my voice and mind. I don't come from this world of writing, I am transitioning careers a...

Ok, after a couple of binge watches (most recently Madness on Netflix) I have a question for the community. Have gun speeches been reduced to a plot-advancing dialogue crutch? I get that the person using the gun, the person at the business end of the gun, they might have many thoughts. Some of them...
