My Take
Steven S. DeKnight is a writer I associate with making genre television feel genuinely dangerous. Spartacus could have been pure spectacle, but as creator and showrunner he gave it teeth, and then he steered the first season of Marvel's Daredevil, which for my money is still the high-water mark for that whole street-level corner of Marvel. Coming up through comic book writing clearly shaped his instinct for serialized stakes. I find showrunners fascinating because they're the invisible authors of tone, and DeKnight has a recognizable one: brutal, propulsive, unafraid of consequence. Jupiter's Legacy didn't land as hard, but the Spartacus and Daredevil run speaks for itself.
