Director Des Doyle takes us into the frantic world of running an American television show in the documentary, Showrunners.
It interviews many famous names, including Joss Whedon, J.J. Abrams, Terrence Winter and Ron Moore (all of whom look like they get about 2 hours of sleep a week) but centers itself around a day in the life of Bones runner Hart Hanson. While it mostly focuses on the accomplishments and war stories of the successful series, I wish it would have shed light on some of the more controversial problems with the showrunners from Community or The Walking Dead and how it effected those series behind-the-scenes.
It's an interesting watch and a delight to see so many favorites talking about their craft but it simply doesn't have enough time to dive as deep as would have liked it to in it's jam-packed 90 minute running time. 3 controlled plane crashes out of 5
