David Gow

David Gow’s a name you might’ve skimmed past in the credits, but let’s be real—he’s quietly everywhere. You’ve got “The Girls on the Bus” from 2024 (that HBO Max show with all the campaign-crazy energy), and guess who’s working behind the scenes? Yep, Gow. He’s also tied to “Madam Secretary,” that political drama people binged when they wanted White House intrigue without, you know, actual news-induced anxiety. Gow’s hands are all over that one too, especially writing episodes that sneak in sharp wit between all the global crises. Then there’s “The Intruder” (also 2024), a suspense flick that’ll mess with your nerves. Gow’s touch? You can feel it in the dialogue—real, rough around the edges, and never too tidy. He doesn’t do that perfect, cinematic conversation thing; there’s awkward pauses, weird tension, and that creeping sense something’s a little off. It’s honestly refreshing. You can tell he’s seen enough real life to know people don’t talk in perfect soundbites. Instead, his characters ramble, cut each other off, spill secrets at the worst moments. That’s Gow’s trademark—making even the most scripted drama feel raw and almost accidental. He’s not the loudest guy in Hollywood, but his writing? It leaves a scratch. Not flashy, but it sticks with you. Whether it’s a newsroom, the halls of power, or a creepy house with secrets, Gow’s stories always find a way to get under your skin.
