The Unit creator David Mamet apparently wrote a memo to the writers of the show of things to keep in mind, including things like:
THE JOB OF THE DRAMATIST IS TO MAKE THE AUDIENCE WONDER WHAT HAPPENS NEXT. NOT TO EXPLAIN TO THEM WHAT JUST HAPPENED, OR TO*SUGGEST* TO THEM WHAT HAPPENS NEXT.
Nothing a self-respecting screenwriter won’t already know but nonetheless a recommended and refreshing Mametian reminder.
