Very thorough and interesting but you should include a lesson on script formatting and what software to use.

He's the real deal. And he's patient. He may be the most down-to-earth Video Guru I've come across. However, Sorkin's Masterclass was better because it was an immersive experience with other students. We had to pick a dead show (as in no longer airing) and write an episode. I made a friend or two from that class.

Bill Lawrence's comedy writing course is a gem. It's funny, insightful, and breaks things down in a way that’s super relatable. Bill is the the guy to learn from—the course is time well spent.

Only halfway through and I've already earned more than $80 worth of information... if you're interested in sitcoms, please take advice from this man. He made Scrubs!

Bill Lawrence’s insight into storytelling, character development, and crafting compelling narratives was truly invaluable. I appreciated how he broke down complex concepts - industry recommendations on representation, and candid truths about being a writer. It's the closest you'll get to having him as a mentor!

Some useful tips on structure, characterisation, etc. Good insight into how writers' rooms work and some tips/encouragement on how to network, pitch ideas, and build a portfolio. My main criticism is that the course came from an LA perspective - inevitable given Bill Lawrence's experience and career. I would have prefered a maestro speaking from a UK TV comedy perspective.
