Wow. So grateful for this glowing review of Deadlock from Variety & @bristei:

"TV’s newest political potboiler is more erudite than 'The West Wing' and more intense than '24' — and it’s coming to, of all places, PBS."

The show premieres tmrw night!

This is an incredibly powerful and hopeful essay, written by someone I deeply respect — even though we may not agree on some of the toughest moral questions facing our country.

So grateful @BayerPicciotti ran barefoot to make this all possible!!
