  on Is “The Pitch” an accurate reflection of our industry?
  Noah Msigwa said
  I can't blame AMC and the show's producers to want to create good or decent tv. They've set the bar high with their other shows and want more competition for season 2 if we are able to see more examples of entertainment that we enjoy.
  on What is “good enough”?

  im an avid follower of the blog and love the thought-provoking questions you folks put up. p.s- next time you're in bangladesh, shoot me an email!
  on Is “The Pitch” an accurate reflection of our industry?
  Jonathan Patterson said
  It's only accurate up to a point. As @Trev and @Warren noted, the show is first about entertainment and second about depicting the industry. As an entertainment source, I like it.
