The 10th anniversary edition, now with a new preface by the author

"A wonderfully smart, lively, and culturally astute survey." - The New York Times Book Review

"Grand entertainment...fascinating for anyone curious about the perplexing miracles of how great television comes to be." - The Wall Street Journal

"I love this book...It's the kind of thing I wish I'd been able to read in film school, back before such books existed." - Vince Gilligan, creator of Breaking Bad and co-creator of Better Call Saul

In the late 1990s and early 2000s, the landscape of television began an unprecedented transformation. While the networks continued to chase the lowest common denominator, a wave of new shows on cable channels dramatically stretched television's narrative inventiveness, emotional resonance, and creative ambition. Combining deep reportage with critical analysis and historical context, Brett Martin recounts the rise and inner workings of this artistic watershed - a golden age of TV that continues to transform America's cultural landscape. Difficult Men features extensive interviews with all the major players - including David Chase (The Sopranos), David Simon and Ed Burns (The Wire), David Milch (NYPD Blue, Deadwood), Alan Ball (Six Feet Under), and Vince Gilligan (Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul) - and reveals how television became a truly significant and influential part of our culture.

Great quality and beautiful color
Color: Wisteria
I absolutely love this iPad case! The star purple color is beautiful and looks even better in person. It fits perfectly on my iPad and feels sturdy while still being slim and lightweight. The stand function is really convenient for watching videos or typing, and I love that it has a pencil holder built in so I don’t misplace it. The cover automatically wakes and sleeps the iPad, which is a nice touch. Overall, it looks great, feels durable, and protects my device without being bulky

Hell of a Case
So I purchased this case for my iPad 10 generation. It was easy to install and very pleasing. I wasn't planning on writing this review but here I am. One Saturday morning, I placed my iPad on the rood of my car while I put my son in the car and in his car seat. Drove off and all of a sudden while going down the highway, I got a notification that my iPad was left on the freeway. Like ahh crap. Tracked the iPad the whole way, dropped my son off at his grandma. Ipad ended up losing signal 25 minutes after the notification. Located the case, didn't survive, obviously. What I will say though it withstood the driving cars going 60+ MPH for nearly 25 minutes before the iPad was destroyed. Really enjoyed the case. Really protected it for a great amount of time before it had enough. Really recommend.
