Respectfully and after numerously repeated searches and pauses, I did not make a transcription mistake.

No episode is less than 50 minutes or greater than 55 minutes.

Limited series are still around. In my opinion, limited series will produce higher quality quantity due to a number of factors. Not least of these are the average viewers diminishing attention span and strictly parameterized expected investment to a series up front.

Much smarter people have probably hypothesized more succinctly and with substantiated sources the same sort of idea.

Every episode with a writer's credit is like this. The only variation being that "Michael Tolkin" isn't always the first name after the "and".

The 1st episode:

> Written by

>Michael Tolkin

The 2nd episode:

> Teleplay by

> Michael Tolkin & Leslie Greif

>and

>Michael Tolkin & Nikki Toscano

The 3rd episode:

• No writing credits in opening credits.

The 4th episode:

> Teleplay by

> Michael Tolkin & Leslie Greif

>and

>Michael Tolkin & Nikki Toscano

5th episode:

>Teleplay by

>Michael Tolkin

6th episode:

• No writing credits in opening credits.

7th episode:

• No writing credits in opening credits.

8th episode:

• No writing credits in opening credits.

9th episode:

• No writing credits in opening credits.

10th episode:

> Written by

>Nikki Toscano & Russell Rothberg & Michael Tolkin

Thank you for the resource.

I'll take some time to understand this.

Wow. I didn't realize how formalized the writing/story credits were. Thank you.

It separation between "story" and "writing" credits is something I'll look further into.

Big thanks for citing your insight.

It's odd to think that there are two writing teams with the principal writer being on both teams. Do they both write their own version of the episode and then the 2 version of synthesized to create the refined finished episode script?

Okay so every rewrite gets an "and", followed by the writers involved, appended to the "Written by" credit?

In this case there were 2 rewrites for every episode and every rewrite included Tolkin?

That's interesting that the middle "and" denotes a partition of the episode's script. I wonder what constitutes a part of the script? Number of lines, screen time, scenes, etc could all be part demarcators.
