Round 1: Penultimates vs. Finales (Live from ATX)
Manage episode 219709109 series 2312415
Penultimates (a.k.a second to last, a.k.a the one before the end) are often beautiful works of episodic TV that are favored over the finale by critics and fans alike. Is it a fair fight though? A penultimate has all of the advantages of a finale - fully formed storylines, character development, complicated relationships - yet, none of the added pressure or immense expectation of tying up lose ends, creating closure, and assuring the final moment is both earned and satisfying. Join a wide-ranging panel of creators as they debate the pros and cons of penultimates vs. finales, from both a writer and viewer's perspective - including some of their all time favorites.
Episode Guests: Christopher C. Rogers (Halt & Catch Fire), Sam Shaw & Dustin Thomason (Castle Rock), Sarah Treem (The Affair)
Moderator: Daniel Fienberg (The Hollywood Reporter)
