Following up after yesterday’s disastrous TCA panel for the show, wherein it was pointed out there were no Latino writers for the new Latino Magnum.
https://variety.com/2018/tv/news/magnum-pi-jay-hernandez-no-latinx-writers-higgins-reboot-1202895628/amp/ I’m uncertain why the lack of native Hawaiians in a show based in Hawaii isn’t more of a thing, but many of the TV writers I follow on Twitter are displeased with the show runner stating there are no good Latino writers available. I’d commend your attention to Javi Grillo-Marxwuach’s Twitter. He’s worked on Lost, Charmed, The 100, and created one of my favorites The Middleman. He also offers scholarships to Latino writers... so he’s got some things to say on the subject. https://twitter.com/okbjgm/status/1026564000027369473?s=21 On Tue, Feb 20, 2018 at 6:23 PM Doug Eastick <[email protected]> wrote: > I will insert my usual reference here......
