JJ Abrams has made Star Trek movies and Star Wars movies, and yet I find his early TV work like Alias and Felicity to still be his most interesting stuff. In this video, I talk about what I wish he'd get back to.

Then it all came crashing down with one disastrous movie. Join me as I recount the rise and fall (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7KoUufDYh0) of JJ Abrams.

J.J. Abrams and his company Bad Robot are leaving Hollywood after a meteoric rise that saw them producing the biggest franchises in town. I trace how the company flew so high and why it's fallen so far.
