GOLIATH: A slingshot loaded with compelling legal drama

TV Series Review by Lew Ritter

GOLIATH is an old fashioned legal drama created by David E. Kelley and Jonathan Shapiro. It is currently streaming on Amazon Prime.

Both co-creators are veteran writers with extensive legal and TV writing background. David E. Kelley is the veteran writer/producer with extensive credits going back to the 80’s with shows such as L.A. LAW, PICKET FENCES and more recently BOSTON LEGAL.

GOLIATH is about a down and out lawyer taking on a simple case that uncovers a far more deadly conspiracy. The stakes are higher than expected not only for the client but for the protagonist, Billy McBride, who needs the win in order to jumpstart his career and give him back his life. read article

He also wrote for WHITE COLLAR and was executive producer on the NBC spy drama ALLEGIANCE. Rashad is currently developing projects as part of an overall deal with Universal Television.

A Few Very Kind Words About TVWriter™ University from a Former Student

by Team TVWriter™ Press Service

LB has always been reluctant to run testimonials because he thinks they’re too self-serving. But right now, while he’s caught up in other things, we’re going to show you this one anyway – because the way we see it, talking about successes that have come from TVWriter™s classes and contests serves the interest of new writers more than it does, you know, LB’s.

Have a gander at this, then, from Cilla Lowen, a new writer living in South Africa, who for a couple of months about a year ago got herself up and out of bed every “Thursday” morning at 4 a.m. Johannesburg time for the Wednesday evening 6 p.m. (Pacific Time) Online Workshop:

Hope you and your loved ones are thriving.  Just want to keep you posted on my progress in 2016 thanks to your constructive guidance: read article
