With the popularity of cable and streaming content, is everyone still writing with traditional act structure to accommodate commercial breaks? So many dramas now no longer follow that format, so should all pilot specs still adhere to it? Someone once told me that one should stick to traditional, instead of assuming where it will land. However, writing that way assumes it lands on network. But if the content is definitely not network-friendly, then what? Is it bad to write your 60 pages as a straight shot with a more cinematic structure, with no indicated acts/commercial breaks?
Just curious about everyone's thoughts on this.
