reflections #7: The Pitt & Industry
Plus, some FAQs about how I got into writing about TV.
As I write this, we’re less than two weeks out from my trip to Utah for the Sundance Film Festival. Don’t worry, I plan to watch pretty much everything episodic in addition to films—they’ve got two TV pilot showcases (six pilots total) and are also hosting the premieres of Bait and The Screener. There’s also a documentary about public access television that I plan to watch. Like I did for TIFF and VIFF, I will of course report back on what I see, learn, and experience, here in this newsletter.
Until then: I’ve been trying to squeeze more hours out of my day to watch more screeners and get ahead before my trip. This has included writing my recaps of Industry’s new season for Elle, and binging through the first nine episodes of The Pitt provided to critics to prepare for an upcoming interview with a cast member. It’s been busy at tvscholar HQ!

I reviewed the upcoming season of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy (I liked it and Holly Hunter is amazing) for TheWrap.
I was on the provincial news! You can watch me talking about TV on CBC: BC Today here, around the 43-minute mark.
I’m still writing my biweekly Yahoo column where I round up a bunch of things I’m watching.
Okay so this new season of Industry…
