Is Hollywood heading for a civil war?

Amy Berg is a television writer who has worked on series such as “Person of Interest” and “Counterpart,” largely with the anonymity common to the profession.

But since late last week she has become something of a celebrity among creators for a long Twitter thread criticizing an unlikely target: the creators' own agents.

"Clients are often coming last in the pecking order of priorities. Yet, by law, we are supposed to be their only priority," she wrote of agents. "Starting to feel sticky yet? Because I haven't even gotten started," she said in the tweets, which have collectively drawn nearly 10,000 likes and zipped around Hollywood offices with a mix of urgency and fear.
