10 Most Viewed TVWriter™ Posts of the Week – Sept. 23, 2019
Happy Monday morning everybody!
Hope your weekend has been a great one. Time now for TVWriter™’s latest look at our most popular blog posts and resource pages during the week ending yesterday. They are, in order:
‘Watchmen” Official Trailer
We don’t usually show trailers of broadcast or cable/satellite series, but today we’re making an exception because, hey, this is a fascinating look into one of TV’s most hotly awaited new shows.

I feel a special closeness to Shiela because she’s also a former student of TVWriter University (in a super cool Special Master Class and was co-director of a Hong Kong spinoff of Cloud Creek Institute for the Arts. (Some of you may remember that name, yeah?)
I met Shiela when I was a judge at a Hong Kong song writing competition, which she won. Recently, she sent me a copy of her latest song, which I’m proud to share here.
