However you want to look at it, I doubt the show would have gotten off the ground without Stiller, and his roll is director. I also believe he has enough power to have the showrunner/writer fired and to never work again

Television used to be controlled by writers (I know, it's blasphemy 😤 but sometimes scripts matter). Unless directors were well known, they weren't considered as important as writers like they were in film where the writer doesn't matter once they get their hands on the script.

That changed with premium cable and HBO with things like The Knick and now Severance (on Apple) where there is a pretty good balance, but this is mostly due to writers wanting good directors I believe personally.

I can kind of tell you do know why I am calling him that 😆

It's a good show, but that was hardly a jaw dropping twist. Jaw dropping would have been Lucia pulling out a cock for Vagina Boy after being with his dad 😆

I would rather see how Ted and Wahlberg deal with Brady going to Tampa 😆 rather than a prequel
