My Take

Greg Berlanti is one of those names I notice once I start tracing the credits. Dawson's Creek, Everwood, Riverdale, You, and the whole CW Arrowverse of DC shows all run back to him. For a screenwriter and producer out of Rye, New York, the sheer volume of television he's shepherded is staggering, and the 2020 Time 100 nod felt overdue rather than surprising. What strikes me is the range: teen drama, superhero serials, prestige thrillers. He's less a single signature voice than a machine that reliably builds shows people get hooked on, and that consistency is its own kind of talent.
