This last year I’ve been working on the third season of the CBS / Global series RANSOM. This is the thread that I put up on twitter about the show and why it’s awesome.
RANSOM is having its season premiere on Saturday at 9pm! You should tune in for a ton of reasons.**RETWEET THIS VERY BIASED THREAD BY A NEW WRITER** @RansomCBS @RansomSeries @CBS @GlobalTV #writing #screenwriting #diversity pic.twitter.com/zwzqXm4M5W

Eric Beaumont (@luke_j_roberts) rescues people from kidnapping and hostage situations relying on his team and their wits – without using violence. pic.twitter.com/Uk6nCOzplZ

I love that the show's heroes care about saving lives more than anything else, and refuse to use violence to solve problems. Okay, Eric broke his cardinal rule last season finale – but more on that later… https://t.co/sNzU5RUNCH

Everyone in the Crisis Resolution team (super diverse btw which I love) brings something important to each case. https://t.co/okAxkPShBs

Zara Hallam (@MsNazContractor) is ex-NYPD and the team's brilliantly observant investigator. She tracks down the clues that make it possible to make a deal with people who would otherwise refuse to listen. pic.twitter.com/jcISfAHRoB

Special shout out to @TamaraMoulin who graciously allowed me to co-write my first episode of television with her. (Episode 310 airing in May!)

After pretty much giving up on screenwriting (but having a still fulfilling career as a doc video editor) I finally got my shot to write some tv and I couldn't be more thrilled.

But back to the season 3 premiere, Eric isn't the type to just shrug off the hard decision he made at the end of season 2. https://t.co/nleV0NsxVO

You're going to want to watch on Saturday / dvr it / watch on @CBSAllAccess or whatever way you prefer. https://t.co/okAxkPShBs

So anyway… It's been a long journey for me, one I hope continues for years to come. SO PLEASE WATCH THE SHOW 🙂
