I analyze hit television series using Story Grid’s 5 Commandments of a Scene. I hope that this analysis will help writers make better scenes for themselves. Additionally, I will cover the 6 Questions Every Editor Asks, also from the Shawn Coyne’s book The Story Grid.
The series I’ve analyzed so far:
- HBO’s Gentleman Jack.
- Amazon Prime’s Jack Ryan.
- Amazon Prime’s Hanna.
- USA Network’s Treadstone.
The Batwoman series description from on the Wikipedia:
Three years after billionaire philanthropist Bruce Wayne and his vigilante alter-ego Batman disappeared, his cousin Kate Kane sets out to overcome her demons and become a symbol of hope by protecting the streets of Gotham City as Batwoman.

Here are the links to the blog entries for this series:
I probably won’t review anymore of these episodes as the story is not working and I don’t think the will be able to make it work.
If you have any suggestions of a future television series you want me to analyze, please write in the comments below.
