My Take

Darren Star fascinates me as a cultural barometer disguised as a producer. Beverly Hills, 90210 defined teen television in the nineties, Sex and the City rewrote how women's lives were portrayed onscreen, and Emily in Paris proved he could still hit a global nerve thirty years on. Critics often sniff at his shows, but longevity like that is not luck; it is an uncanny ear for what audiences want slightly before they know they want it. The UCLA-trained writer in him keeps the formula sharp while the showrunner sells the fantasy. I rate him as one of television's great commercial instincts, full stop.
