101 Best Written TV Series - Writer's Guild of America - Page 2

If character is destiny, then character has also long been the backbone of great TV writing.

Close to half of the 101 Best Written TV Series aired within the last decade. Not coincidentally, this was a period that coincided with a sharp growth in original programming on both basic and pay cable television when writers were given more latitude to explore the moral complexities of the worlds they created.
