The Great

The Great (2020) is a satirical and explosive TV Show created by Tony McNamara. This TV show is one of the reasons I began enjoying writing TV shows. In my third year as a Screenwriting student, one of the assignments was to write a Spec Script for an existing series. I chose The Great (2020) for its unique style and just batshit crazy humour. It was a difficult task to try and get all of the nuances and the rapid-fire jokes into a script as a fledgeling screenwriter, but doing this assignment h...

We are Lady Parts (2021) review and analysis.

She feels fortunate to have expressed her desire to create something reflective of herself and the women she knew through her writing, which ultimately inspired her to develop the show. She wanted to show how diverse Muslim women are and can be, and how each of the characters is comfortable with how they express themselves. As I see it, Lady Parts is a representation of the creator, Nida Manzoor, while all the opposing forces are an amalgamation of the fears of how Manzoor would be seen in the w...
